Ragging at AIIMS Mangalagiri: 13 MBBS students suspended, Dean steps down after son's name surfaces
Ragging
Vijayawada: A shocking case of ragging has emerged from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Mangalagiri, where 13 out of 15 MBBS accused students allegedly abused and harassed a first-year student, accusing him of misbehaving with female classmates. The harassment reportedly drove the junior to attempt self-harm.
Taking disciplinary action against these students, the AIIMS authorities suspended three students for 1.5 years, four students for a year, and six others for six months after they were found guilty of ragging the junior.
The action was taken after the institute received a complaint from the victim and subsequently informed the local police and alerted the University Grants Commission (UGC).
