WB's medical college 1st student accuses 15 seniors of ragging, 2 suspended

TOI reported that following the incident, the injured student sought medical attention on Monday morning and filed a complaint with the college's anti-ragging committee. His parents also arrived in Purulia on Friday. A committee meeting was held, and after the allegations were substantiated, the authorities decided to suspend the students and instructed them to vacate the hostel.

Meanwhile, the medical college authorities have acknowledged the incident, and Medical Superintendent-cum-Vice Principal Sukumar Biswas has assured that appropriate action will be taken against the accused.

Medical Dialogues had recently reported a case where the family of the deceased first-year MBBS student alleged that he was subjected to sustained ragging and bullying at Government MGM Medical College, Indore, and sought a detailed probe into the role of seniors. According to relatives, the student had complained of humiliating rules imposed on juniors in the hostel and mess, which they claim caused severe mental distress.
