New Delhi, September 24, 2010
Ramjas College on Thursday suspended a BSc student for allegedly ragging his classmate earlier this month. Principal Rajendra Prasad, on the recommendation of a sub-committee of the anti-ragging panel, has also banned the student's entry in the college.
According to the college order, the student will face suspension "till further orders". The next meeting of the anti-ragging committee is scheduled on September 27.
The ragging incident came to light on September 9 when Ritwiz Rai, a first-year student of BSc (Honours) physics, filed a complaint with the college authorities. He accused Rajiv Kumar, from the first-year batch of BSc (Honours) mathematics, of beating him up with the help of senior students.
Though Kumar is also a first year student, the principal forwarded the complaint to the anti-ragging committee as he has failed his examination twice. "So technically, Kumar is senior and he attacked Rai with the help of his third-year friends. In this context, it is a case of ragging," Prasad said.
"The incident took place in the first week of September. Rai was beaten up when he tried to stop a few seniors from ragging his friend near the college canteen. The CCTV footage shows that nine senior students along with Kumar had thrashed him. Rai's left eye is badly hurt," said Tanvir Aeijaz Alam, a member of the college anti-ragging committee. This is the first instance of ragging reported from a Delhi University institution in the new academic year.

TNN, Sep 23, 2010, 12.46am IST
TIRUCHI: The Anna University of Technology Tiruchi (AUT-T) placed 47 hostel students under suspension after they clashed among themselves in the hostel on Sunday night. The university had stuck the suspension order on the notice board on Tuesday and had sent all the suspended students out of the hostel.
Vice-chancellor P Devadas Manoharan was not available for comments but sources in the university said he had ordered for a probe into the incident. While the university is tight-lipped about the cause of the clash, students said that ragging was the root cause of the fracas. A student of the university said a few days back a second year student ragged his junior, who happened to be the brother of a final year student. The incident triggered a quarrel between final year and second year students.
Another incident occurred within the next few days when a final year student asked a second year student who was watching television in the hostel to reduce the TV volume. The latter refused resulting in another quarrel. These incidents had created friction among the students who used to exchange harsh words occasionally. On Sunday night yet another quarrel broke out between the students and a clash ensued. Hostel staff intervened and pacified the students. However a couple of hours later they began assaulting each other again, said a final year student.
A university staff said the students have been suspended to prevent escalation of tension. Once the enquiry is over further disciplinary action may be taken against the students found guilty, he said.

Ragged, tech freshers quit en masse
TNN, Sep 14, 2010, 05.58am IST
HALDIA: The entire first-year batch of Haldia Institute of Technology (HIT) walked out of campus on Monday evening, bag and baggage in tow, after relentless ragging and beating by seniors.
The trigger was a night-long thrashing and sporadic clashes throughout Monday morning when the freshers refused to be pressured into buying liquor for seniors.
This isn't the first such incident at HIT, which describes itself as the'largest private education institution in West Bengal'. Exactly a week ago, third-year students Dinesh Singh and Ranjan Roy were allegedly beaten up by their seniors. They lodged a complaint with the police but the institute has taken no action so far. It has not acted on Monday's incident either.
According to the complaint, a group of fourth-year students barged into T4 hostel on Sunday night and beat up first-year boarders. "They used to force us to get liquor for them. This time, we refused. At night, they stormed into our rooms and beat us," said a fresher.
One of the severely injured students, Sukanta Biswas, of the computer science and electronics department, lay bleeding in hostel all night because he dared not step out. He was taken to hospital in the morning. At 8am, the traumatized and injured freshers sat on dharna at the admin-istrative office. The authorities only assu-red that security would be increased but said nothing about identifying and punis-hing the culprits, said the first-year stude-nts who skipped class. Soon, clashes broke out between them and final-year students.

Engineering student hospitalised after ragging in hostel
Thursday, September 09, 2010 11:39:43 AM by IANS
Kota (Rajasthan), Sep 9 (IANS) A Gujarat youth studying at a private engineering college here has been hospitalised for depression after he was harassed and not allowed to sleep for two nights by seniors at a hostel, says his father who has complained to police of ragging.
A case has been registered against three students of the college, police said Thursday.
Rahul Sharma, who is from Vadodra, has taken admission to the R.N. Modi Engineering College only six days back. The complaint was made Wednesday.
“After taking admission in the college, we got him a room at Modi Hostel in Jawahar Nagar area of the city. It was in the hostel that he was mentally harassed and tortured and not allowed to sleep for at least two nights,” Rajkumar Sharma, Rahul’s father, said in the police complaint.
Sharma said as soon as he came to know about it, he rushed to Kota and complained about it to the college authorities. “After not getting a proper reply, we requested that he be allowed to leave the hostel.”
On Wednesday, Rahul started to cry and suddenly collapsed, his father alleged. He was admitted in a government hospital here. “He is not in a condition to talk to anyone,” Sharma said.
The hostel authorities said the father and son had come to them and were asked to file a complaint with the director. “However, they did not do so,” a college official said.
Police have started investigating the matter. “We have got the ragging complaint and have started to search for the accused students,” said a police official.
In April, the Rajasthan High Court while hearing a ragging case had asked the state government to deal with incidents of ragging with a firm hand. The court had also directed the government to enact an anti-ragging law in the state. It had observed that ragging is a serious issue and could not be dealt with only through anti-ragging orders passed by universities and colleges.

Meerut ragging case: Ragging or caste war?
Meerut, September 07, 2010
An incident of ragging rocked the premises of Sir Chotu Ram Engineering College of CCS University late on Sunday night. Kuldeep Singh and Kamlesh Yadav, students of B.Tech second year of the prestigious college affiliated to Chaudhury Charan Singh University, maintained in their complaint that they were thrashed when they denied to obey unjustified and unlawful demands.

Declining the charges, one of the accused Naveen Chaudhry , however, described it a fallout of the ongoing caste rivalry among students, which has been given a drift as an incident of ragging. “Had they been subjected to ragging it would have happened in the previous year. They are just trying to give a hype to the matter to entangle them in a crime case."
CCS campus has witnessed lot of student tussle on caste and regional grounds in the recent past. This incident is also being seen as a consequence of this ongoing caste rivalry.
On the other hand, University administration has denied any such incident and so did the college authorities. DSW, Dr HS Baliyan, expressed ignorance of the occurrence of any such incident. "I have no such information yet." he said.

Vishal Yadav, 18, a B.Tech student of the Pranveer Singh Institute of Technology (PSIT), consumed a mosquito repellant late Monday in his hostel room on the campus. Singh was rushed to a hospital in an unconscious state by his batchmates.
'He is out of danger, but doctors will continue to keep him under observation for the next few days,' Deputy Superintendent of Police Hemlata told reporters Tuesday morning in Kanpur, some 80 km from Lucknow.
'Preliminary investigations reveal the student tried to end his life as he was disturbed over his ragging. We have registered an FIR (first information report) against unidentified students as Vishal is not aware of the names of his seniors involved,' Hemlata said.
'But Vishal is quite sure that he can identify the seniors by their faces. Once he identifies them, an FIR with names would be registered against all of them,' she said.
Police have also sought assistance from the college staff in order to identify the students involved.
'We will extend our full cooperation in the police enquiry,' Rajesh Pandey, a hostel warden of the college, told reporters.
Yadav's father Hari Shanker, a resident of Hamirpur district, said, 'My son was very depressed because of ragging. He used to call up his mother and would ask her to take him back to Hamirpur.'

Tension in college after student alleges ragging
Bhubaneswar, Aug. 19: The situation on the Ekamra College campus was tense today after a fresher alleged ragging by his seniors.
Subhendu Sathpahy, a Plus II first year student of the city based Ekamra College, alleged that his seniors asked him to strip and assaulted him when he denied.
Sathpathy started coming to the college from August 16 as classes for the first year students began for the present academic session.
He said that he was trying to enter the Block C of the college building when a group of senior students of Plus III final year, who were sitting on the balcony, called him.
“He was scared and pretended as if he did not hear them. At these, the senior students started using slang language and asked him to come to them. They then asked him why his shoes were not polished,” said Santosh Panda, uncle of the victim Subhendu Sathpathy.
“Later they abused him asked him to strip. As he refused, they smeared cow dung on his uniform and physically assaulted him,” Panda alleged.
“We have submitted a written complaint to the college principal and are soon going to file an FIR at the Air Field police station,” he added.
Sathpathy received injuries in his stomach and other lower abdomen, and had to be rushed to nearby hospital.
“The college authorities are responsible for this. We need an explanation why the college authorities cannot ensure the protection of their own students. Especially in the present day situation, when ragging is considered a serious offence and has been banned, I wonder why do the college authorities fail to take any action,” said the victim’s uncle, as he rushed to the hospital receiving the news of his injuries.
“When I contacted the principal of the college on this issue, she kept repeating that it was not ragging and that it was the result of a clash for tensions related to election. It is not quite clear to me how can my son, who joined the college only four days ago, become a victim of college election,” asked Srikant Sathapathy, father of the victim, demanding immediate action against the offenders.
“The seniors have been ragging us frequently ever since we joined. We have given a written complaint to the principal of the college,” said Radha Mohan Nayak, another Plus II student.
“There was a disturbance between senior and junior students, but we have heard that they have compromised among themselves,” said Soumendra Tripathy, inspector-in-charge of the Air Field police station.
But Pranati Mishra, principal of the college refused to believe that any incident of ragging has taken place on the college premises. “There was nothing like ragging. It was a routine clash that happens during election,” she added
