Berhampur: A senior resident attached to MKCG Medical College and Hospital in Berhampur has been booked after a second-year medico complained that the accused ragged him on campus. The incident irked the second-year medicos of the institution who then approached the Dean seeking action against the senior.  

As per a recent media report by Odisha TV, one of the senior resident doctors ragged another junior medico who was a boarder of the college hostel on the night of May 7. The initial investigation has revealed that the second-year students including the medico were trying to organize an informal cultural event on the campus. However, he was ragged by a senior resident doctor.

After that, a group of MBBS students lodged a complaint at the dean's office following which an FIR was lodged at Baidyanathpur police station. Berhampur SP, Saravana Vivek said the dean of the medical college had registered a case after the medicos approached him. According to The New Indian Express, the hostel and anti-ragging cell authorities did not disclose any of the incidents till CCTV footage of the incident reached the dean Abanikanta Mishra two days back.

Taking cognizance of the complaint, he called for a meeting with the members of the hostel council committee. After screening the footage, he lodged a complaint with Baidyanathpur police against the accused house surgeon. The SP stated, "We have recorded the statements of the Dean and the complainant and have launched a probe in this connection ". According to the police, they have also gathered video evidence and issued a warning to the accused. "We will take appropriate action against the accused as per the law", Berhampur SP said. 
A few days ago a first-year MBBS student of Bhima Bhoi Medical College and Hospital in Bolangir had shockingly passed away after falling off the hostel roof on April 22. A close relative of the deceased MBBS student had raised allegations of ragging against the seniors. Last month also second-year students filed ragging complaints with the MCH's anti-ragging unit last month, stating that their seniors tortured them emotionally and physically in one of the dorms. According to a daily, they asked three juniors to kneel down and slapped them while asking another medico to record the incident.
