TRIPUNITHURA: Akhil Dhileep, a second-year engineering student at Adisankara Engineering College, Kaladi, was admitted to Tripunithura Taluk Hospital with serious injuries allegedly caused by ragging. According to the students, a group of around 15 senior students dragged him to a corner of the college and heinously tortured him. When the student tried to make a complaint on the matter, the college authorities did not heed it.
Then he returned home near Nettoor here with serious injuries. At first, he did not mention the matter to his family members, but he explained everything to his friends when they had asked him, seeing his pitiable condition. Akhil’s body is full of scars owing to the attack. His relatives, after admitting him to hospital, have left for Kaladi to file a complaint with the police.
