BJ Medical College Ragging Row: Medical Education Dept Upholds Suspension, Students Allege Evidence Suppression - Video

While the Maharashtra Medical Education Department has approved the six-month suspension of three postgraduate students from Pune’s B.J. Medical College (BJMC) over ragging allegations, the four junior students who were mentally and physically harassed by the accused claimed that they have not yet received official suspension notices.

Additionally, the victims and their parents have voiced dissatisfaction with how the case has been handled. They alleged that crucial evidence was ignored in the anti-ragging complaint report, resulting in no serious action being taken against the accused, and as a result, they believe that justice has not been fully served.

Medical Dialogues team had previously reported that BJ Medical College suspended three second-year postgraduate students from the Orthopaedics Department and evicted them from the hostel for allegedly ragging juniors. The action followed a formal complaint received by the college on Monday, alleging that the second-year PG students had subjected four juniors to mental and physical harassment, including the use of threatening language and and even hot waters were allegedly poured on some of them.
