21 September 2009:AHMEDABAD: Ragging of a city boy along with three of his classmates at a Jamnagar college has sparked off a controversy even as the state government
plans to take strict action against the guilty.
Four students of the MP Shah Medical College in Jamnagar were subjected to mental and physical harassment for more than three months by their seniors, a complaint filed by one of the victims, who hails from Ahmedabad, says.
The ragging, said sources, took place in the PG medical (orthopedic) department of the college. The matter came to light when one of the four victims fled the college and came back home in Ahmedabad. Both the accused and the victim are from Ahmedabad, said sources.
The victim's parents then took up the matter with the college authorities and filed a complaint with the dean of the college. Principal secretary of health Ravi Saxena said, "Four students were subjected to ragging. One of them has filed a complaint and the anti-ragging committee of the college will meet soon. Strict action will be initiated against the guilty. Such instances will not be tolerated."
Vice-chancellor of Saurashtra University Kamlesh Joshipura said, "A ragging complaint has been received and we will send a team to inquire into it. We are also trying to contact the three other victims who have shifted to a medical college in Rajkot."
In June, the four students got admission in Jamnagar medical college. The four were targeted by a hostile group of students of second year PG who subjected them to severe beating and humiliation.
Three of the students got admission in a medical college at Rajkot and shifted out. However, the fourth student, who belongs to Ahmedabad, continued to be subjected to abuse. "They would snatch his money, lock him into a bathroom and beat him up. His bike would also often be snatched," said sources in the state education department.Source:The Times of India
