Ragging at BRD Medical College! MBBS student allegedly Brutally assaulted over haircut demand by seniors

Following this, the senior reportedly surrounded him and then began allegedly brutally assaulting him. A cycle stand guard who witnessed the incident immediately alerted police post officials who quickly arrived at the scene and prevented the situation from escalating further. The police officials then rushed the injured student to Jawaharlal Nehru Hospital at BRD Medical College where doctors immediately started his treatment. 

The guard who was the prime witness of the incident later informed the anti-ragging cell of the institute backed by reports from the students as well. Presently, the committee is investigating the case and further action will be taken based on the inquiry’s findings.

Speaking to HT in this regard, Professor Ram Kumar Jaiswal, Principal of BRD Medical College said, "the anti-ragging committee has initiated an inquiry following verbal reports from the guard and students. Strict action would be taken against those found guilty."

Further, Circle Officer (CO) Ravi Kumar Singh confirmed that while the police have not yet received a written complaint, they are aware that a scuffle occurred. 

Medical Dialogues had previously reported that 7 second-year MBBS students of BRD Medical College were suspended for three months for allegedly entering the junior students’ hostel without permission violating anti-ragging protocols. Although no concrete evidence of ragging was found, the college administration suspended them for violating hostel rules. They claimed that any unauthorized entry of senior students into the juniors’ hostel is a serious violation of discipline.
