BANGALORE: Is talking ragging? So it seems for a leading fashion institute here which suspended a few students for allegedly ragging their juniors during an “interaction”.

According to an official in the institute, faculty members saw seniors talking to their juniors and marched them immediately to the director’s office. The official added: “As the institute has zero tolerance to ragging, they suspended a few of them immediately. This was to send out a strong message to others that the institute is very serious about anti-ragging.”

The number of students suspended and duration is not very clear. According to the official, more than four students were suspended for five days and they will return to college on Monday. But, a student under suspension said that 18 students — 10 girls and eight boys — were suspended.
