VNIT final yr students held for ragging
NAGPUR: In what's ostensibly the biggest blot on the Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT), the only NIT in Maharashtra, 6 students of the city-based college were arrested by the Ambazari police on Thursday for alleged ragging. They were also charged with physical assault and threatening the victims, under Sections 323, 504, and 109 read with 34 of IPC.
Those arrested include Abhishek Mishra (21) from Kolkata, Pranav Dikshit from Agra, Gauravdip Chakraborty (20) from Ashish Nagar, Tanay Mahajan (22) from Pune, Pravin Jha (20) from Rajasthan and Ankit Chabra (20) from Punjab. The first three are from final year mechanical branch, Tanay from final year architecture and Pravin and Ankit from final year civil engineering.
Interestingly, the incident took place on January 5 but the complaint was lodged only on Thursday. All were released on bail on the same day.
The chief warden of VNIT hostels, Aniruddh Ghare, told TOI that all the students were rusticated from the hostels after the complaint was lodged and also debarred from appearing in any of the training and placement activities. Their parents were also informed about the incident.
According to Ghare, after Jayant Kumar Tiwari, a third-year student, lodged a complaint on January 6 with the students' dean SS Umare, the issue was referred to the officiating director Chintamanu Moghe. He constituted a special enquiry panel under mathematics lecturer AG Deshpande who, in his report, recommended filing of police complaint. After the submission of the report, the victim was told to lodge an FIR.
Moghe could not be contacted for his comments while the complainant refused to pick up calls.
Ghare refused to call it an act of ragging and instead termed it as a group clash between third year and final year student. According TOI's sources, the panel report confirmed that it was a clear case of ragging where the victims were abused and threatened.
On the date of incident the accused inquired with Moghe, who was sitting with his friends outside the hostel, about one of their classmate. When he pleaded ignorance, Moghe and his friends were taken to the hostel terrace and badly humiliated by the accused. They allegedly abused the victim and his friends in vulgar words and made them to perform indecent acts. The drama went on for nearly two hours, sources added.
As per section 4 of the Maharashtra Prohibition of Ragging Act, 1999, the accused should have been sent to jail for a term, which may extend to two years, and slapped with a fine, which may extend to Rs 10,000. Surprisingly, they were released on bail raising serious doubts on the action taken on them by the police. Though the VNIT officials displayed courage to provide information to the police, they failed to take stern action on the culprits by not dismissing or suspending them from attending the college.

Patna medico kills self, family alleges ragging
A first year student of Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) committed suicide after being allegedly harassed by his seniors. The body of 18-year-old Sunny Kumar Roshan was recovered from a private lodge under Sultanganj police station of the state capital on Wednesday. The body was taken to his Chapra residence by his family after the post- mortem. The police said they did not find any suicide note from his room.
Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday ordered a joint probe by Patna's district magistrate Jitendra Kumar Sinha and senior superintendent of police B. S. Meena after the boy's family alleged that Sunny had taken the extreme step due to constant harassment by his seniors on the college campus.
"I have asked the Patna DM and SSP to probe the suicide by the medical student in view of his family's suspicion about ragging," Nitish said.
Sunny, a resident of Saran district, was living at the Mehendra Prasad lodge in the Mahendru area where his body was found hanging from the ceiling fan.
His father Kameshwar Ram, a bank employee, said he often complained about harassment by his seniors at the college.
"He told me that the seniors often ragged him on the college campus. They used to chase him to his classes and would leave only upon the arrival of the teachers," the victim's father said.
Family members said Sunny was also tense because his seniors had demanded ` 1,200 from him in the name of donation for the upcoming Saraswati Puja.
Anil Kumar, one of Sunny's friends, said he was very upset after he returned from the college where he had gone to give donation for the Saraswati Puja on Tuesday.
"He just collapsed on the bed and was crying. I kept asking why he was upset but he did not tell me," he said.
The SHO of Sultanganj police station Nand Kishore Rajak said the boy had locked his door and apparently committed suicide on Tuesday night itself but the matter came to light on Wednesday around 7 pm when the door of the lodge was broken open.
The Patna SSP, who also visited the lodge where Sunny had been living, said he found no evidence to suggest that ragging prompted Sunny to end his life.
" His father has not mentioned ragging in his statement to the police," he said.
Meena said the police had recovered a diary from Sunny's room which contained telephone numbers of some of his friends. " We have talked to each one of them but none of them told us anything about ragging," he added.
The PMCH administration denied the charges of ragging and extortion of money from students in the name of donation for the Saraswati Puja.
College sources added that Sunny had attended barely onethird of his theory and practical classes. The police said Sunny had appeared in a semester examination from January 15 to 24 and had apparently not done well.
In a separate incident on Thursday, Ashwani Pratap, an MBA student, was found hanging from a ceiling fan at his house in Patna.
The deceased was a student of a Pune college and was under treatment for depression.

College authorities ignore ragging complaints
Last Updated : 25 Dec 2010 08:39:50 AM IST
KOCHI: The Model Engineering College, Thrikkakara, has landed in a ragging controversy after an NRI, the father of a firstyear student, appealed to the college authorities to protect his ward who has been subjected to alleged torture in the college hostel by senior students.
In a letter sent to college Principal P Suresh Kumar, the father who refused to reveal his identity fearing for his son's safety, said: "Four months have gone since my ward joined your institution. He was fortunate enough to get an admission in the college hostel.
With agony, surprise and a little bit of anger, let me list before you the mental and physical torture inflicted on my son by a small group of seniors. The seniors started to visit the juniors in their hostel rooms at unearthly hours in not so sober condition. They created situations for slapping the juniors and for stripping them in public. The juniors were ordered to clean the room and the undergarments of the seniors," the letter said.
The letter further further said: "It is learnt that none of the ragging preventive measures is effective neither on your campus or in the hostel.
The complaint box with the name and the telephone numbers of the principal and other respective officials are yet to be arranged. No team of officials or authorities used to take rounds on the hostel premises to check the entry of seniors in the rooms of the juniors. The tollfree antiragging number and notices warning about the consequences of criminal proceedings in case of ragging are not displayed in the college or on hostel premises."
When inquired about the letter, principal Suresh Kumar said that they had received an anonymous letter but the issues raised in the letter were baseless. "We conducted an inquiry and found that no such incidents as mentioned in the letter has happened in the hostel. We have an active antiragging cell in the college which used to ensure that senior students do not get a chance to enter the hostel rooms of the juniors. There have been repeated attempts by a section of the people to tarnish the name of the institution by levelling baseless allegations," the principal added.

Then, Jias, along with six of his batchmates, switched off the lights in the room and started assaulting the victim. Joel complained that the students brutally attacked him for almost an hour.
According to the complaint, the senior students showered abuses on Joel maligning his parents. The sexual assault was severe, he said in his compliant.
The college authorities have forwarded the complaint to the Cooperation Minister, the authorities of the Cooperative Academy for Professional Education (CAPE), and the police.
Though, many of the students were involved in such crimes earlier, the authorities had not taken strict action against them.Some of the persons involved in the present case had been under suspension for similar cases earlier, sources said.
The senior students under the pretext of ragging would attack the juniors. Earlier, the first-year students were also attacked in a similar manner by the seniors.
The police have registered a case in this regard.
