“They were treating me as a ward boy. Besides, they used to order me to complete their paper work”
DURGAPUR, 4 OCT: A first-year engineering student allegedly attempted suicide because of ragging by four seniors. After receiving complaints from the college authorities, police have begun investigating. None of the accused has been arrested yet.
Mr Pintu Majumdar, student at a private college in Raniganj, had lodged a complaint through the National Anti-Ragging Cell’s toll-free number in New Delhi last Saturday. The Cell sought an explanation from the college authorities on Wednesday.
The college immediately lodged a complaint with police. Mr Majumdar, a resident of Ghola in North 24-Parganas alleged that four third-year students ~ Mr Pronoy Das, Mr Bappa Ghanti, Mr Sourabh Karmakar and Mr Snehasis Ghosh ~ had been mentally and physically torturing him for the past few days.
He said: “This had become unbearable, so I attempted suicide to be free of it all."Mr Majumdar said: “They were treating me as a ward boy. Besides, they used to order me to complete their paper work.” The
University Grant Commission meanwhile, has made it clear in its latest explanation on ragging last July: “Exploiting the services of a fresher or any other student for completing the academic tasks assigned to an individual or a group of students will constitute ragging.”
The Asansol-Durgapur Police, meanwhile, hasn’t booked anyone for ragging, said Mr Suresh Kumar Chadivi, ADCP (Central).
