Ragging charges and cock & bull story

http://www.dnaindia.com/bangalore/report_ragging-charges-and-cock-and-bull-story_1746990

It all began with a drunken brawl at a college in Vidyarananyapura on Thursday. A student got injured and filed a police complaint on the same day. His rival filed a counter complaint at a different police station on Friday, accusing him of ragging. It took some time for the police to sift through the confusion.

Rahul Kumar Singh, 19, studying first year BBM lodged a complaint at Vidyarananyapura police station that his seniors had ragged him. He said they were forcing him to strip and when he objected, he was stabbed with a screw driver and beaten.

Vidyaranyapura police inspector BP Prasad said they initially believed him and registered a case of assault, ragging and also criminal intimidation against another student, identified as Praveen Kumar.

 Singh had also created an alibi, identified as Sanjay, and stated that he too was forced by the the accused to do the same.

A team of officials swung into action and nabbed the accused for questioning. The whole incident turned out to be a farce when the ‘accused’ informed them that he was in fact the victim and had already filed a case with New Yelahanka Town police.

 After contacting their counterparts at Yelahanka, they realised thatRahul has filed a false complaint and have decided to take legal action in this regard.
