'Congress in Goa demanding the reinstatement of students caught with drugs at Goa Medical College after being rusticated appears to be an attempt to make small the crime of having drugs in a college campus. It is a serious matter and must be dealt with strictly,' Rodrigues said.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier published that five Goa Medical College and Hospital interns, including a female were allegedly rusticated following a police complaint that they were found with drugs.
The Security Guard of the boys' hostel submitted a report to GMC Dean S M Bandekar.
Subsequently, a complaint was filed by the hostel warden at Agassaim Police Station.
Following this, State Health Minister Vishwajit Rane said he had asked the GMCH dean to issue a show cause notice to the hostel warden in the matter.
