2 Paramedical students booked in AIIMS Nagpur ragging case

Nagpur: The two senior students from the Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Technology (BMLT) course at All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Nagpur who were accused of ragging and harassing a first-year paramedical student, have been recently booked by the Sonegaon police in connection. 

According to the police, the two accused students of the 2024 batch allegedly forced the junior to strip, asked him objectionable questions and showed him inappropriate videos after calling him into their hostel room at around 9.30 pm on the campus on September 21. 

This came to light after the members of the anti-ragging committee of AIIMS questioned 13 eyewitnesses and recorded their statements leading to the registration of a case under relevant sections of the Maharashtra Prohibition of Ragging Act and Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
