Nainital: After the Haldwani Medical College administration imposed a fine of 5000 rupees on the senior students following the reports of ragging on the hostel premises, now almost 120 MBBS students of the senior batches have deposited the fine abiding to the decision of the authorities.
Previously Medical Dialogues reported that the anti-ragging committee had their second meeting on Saturday to investigate the alleged ragging and decided to impose fines on the whole batch of second-year students considering that the incident of ragging took place near their hostel.
On March 4, a case of ragging by shaving the heads of MBBS first-year students came to light in Government Medical College, Haldwani. All 43 first-year students had their heads shaved and the video went viral. Another view also showed the first-year students walking in silence with their hands tied behind their back and looking down at the ground. When the matter reached the High Court in the form of public interest litigation, the court directed the concerned authorities to take action by constituting an inquiry committee consisting of Kumaon Division.
