MKCG medical college: 5 MBBS students suspended for 6 months over ragging incident

Based on the recommendation of the anti-ragging committee, the state-run MKCG Medical College and Hospital in Odisha's Ganjam district has suspended five fourth-year MBBS students from the hostel for six months for allegedly ragging second-year students.

The names of the five senior students were disclosed after three second-year students submitted a written complaint to the dean of the medical college, Dr Suchitra Dash, on Tuesday. This revelation came after the college's anti-ragging committee was unable to identify the seniors, as no second-year students stepped forward to support the allegations during a meeting with all second and fourth-year students held last week.
