Ragging Complaints At Kakatiya Medical College, Police finds No Conclusive Evidence
Warangal: The issue of ragging has taken the spotlight in the state of Telangana after a tweet was posted by an MBBS student, complaining about ragging in the men's hostel.
The incident occurred on Monday, 15th November 2021, when a junior student from the Kakatiya Medical College (KMC) posted a tweet alleging that a group of seniors were ragging him and a group of other students. The tweet quickly garnered attention on social media; the account through which it was tweeted, however, was soon deleted.
Mattewada police officials visited the campus on Monday and inquired about the incident. Inspector T Ganesh recently informed TOI, "We thoroughly examined the hostel premises, interacted with the third-year and fourth-year students. We tried to trace the number of the student who tweeted. However, could not trace the person. All hostellers said there was no such (ragging) incident." A central team from Hyderabad visited the KMC and also concluded that no such ragging incident took place.
The Kakatiya Medical College (KMC) is one of the medical schools of Telangana, located in Warangal under the gamut of Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences. Currently it is one of the premier medical institutes of Telangana, taking in 200 students on merit each year through the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test).
