Ragging at Ratlam's Medical College: 2 MBBS students suspended for cutting junior's hair, demanding alcohol

The incident escalated when other hostel residents learned about the ragging and protested against it. In response, the accused seniors allegedly began shouting and creating a commotion. The first-year students then threatened to inform the Dean and Warden, prompting the seniors to flee the scene by jumping over the back wall of the hostel, leaving their motorcycles behind.

Upon receiving the information, Dean Dr. Anita Mootha, hostel warden Dr. Devendra Chauhan, and other staff members immediately reached the hostel. They questioned the students, seized the motorcycles belonging to the accused, and handed them over to the police.

Following this, the first-year victims lodged a formal complaint against the two seniors. Acting on the complaint, the college's anti-ragging committee launched an investigation and found the seniors guilty of ragging.

Sub-Inspector Dhyan Singh Solanki of the Industrial Police Station told Bhaskar, "Police reached the spot at night. The Anti-Ragging Committee has not submitted any written complaint to the police station. Legal action will be taken upon receiving the complaint."

Dean Dr. Anita told TOI, "We had informed the police but will not be filing a formal FIR at this point. The parents of the accused will be summoned to the college and required to sign an undertaking. A separate meeting will be held with all wardens to ensure such incidents do not happen in the future."
