Kottayam: In a horrific ragging incident recently surfaced from Kottayam, five third-year nursing students have been arrested for allegedly ragging first year students at the Government Nursing College. It has been alleged by the 1st year students who were subjected to ragging that they were allegedly forced to strip naked, dumbbells hung from private parts, stabbed with geometry box compasses and beaten bloody for three months.
The complaint in this regard led to the suspension of the accused students and their arrest under the Anti-Ragging Ac, as per NDTV.
