[Hindu] 15 MBBS students expelled for ragging


Kanpur: Fifteen second year MBBS students have been expelled from a medical college hostel here after a disciplinary committee indicted them in an incident of ragging in August.

The administration has expelled them on the charge of “misbehaving with first year students on the pretext of getting to know them,” Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Medical College principal Professor S K Katiyar said on Wednesday.

He said the incident was brought to his notice in August and handed over to the disciplinary committee of the college which found them guilty of misbehaviour.

All the expelled students were residing in Hostel No 5, he said adding that the college had already suspended four students on charge of ragging in August. -- PTI

Ragging is a very sickening thing. It is merely bullying and many use that an excuse to abuse innocent youngsters. Some even sexually abuse youngsters in the name of ragging.

It is cruel and it has to be stopped. Students who indulge in ragging should be criminally prosecuted.

Let them thrown into jails where they will be subjected to the same treatment they gave to innocent victims by fellow prisoners.

In 1967, I wrote an article about this in THE HINDU, Madras and I cannot believe this is still going on in Indian schools and universities. What a shame!!
