Another ragging incident from Dr SN Medical College Jodhpur- MBBS Students allege harassment, forced to address seniors as 'Boss'

Jodhpur: The Anti-Ragging Committee of Dr SN Medical College, Jodhpur, has launched an inquiry after junior MBBS students of the 2026 batch accused senior students of ragging, mental harassment and forcing them to address them as 'Boss'.

The junior students jointly sent the complaint to the National Medical Commission (NMC), which forwarded it to the college administration and directed an immediate investigation. The students alleged that senior students use inappropriate language with them under the pretext of introductions and repeatedly pressurised them to address their seniors as 'Boss' during conversations.

Following the NMC's communication, college Principal Dr BS Jodha referred the complaint to the Anti-Ragging Committee and directed it to investigate the allegations and take necessary action.

The committee then called a special meeting and asked the senior students named in the complaint to appear. Their statements were recorded individually, and their mobile phones were also examined as part of the inquiry.

As per the latest media report by Amarujala, the junior students had named four to five senior students in their complaint. However, during the investigation, the committee learnt that around 10 to 15 other students were also present when the alleged incident took place.

To ascertain the complete facts of the incident, the Anti-Ragging Committee has directed all 10 to 15 students who were present at the spot to appear before it individually on Monday. The committee will question them separately and gather information about the sequence of events.

After completing the inquiry and questioning, the college administration will take action against students found guilty in accordance with the applicable rules. A detailed report on the incident will also be prepared and submitted to the National Medical Commission. The college administration has clarified that indiscipline and ragging-related activities will not be tolerated on the campus under any circumstances.

This is the second ragging complaint reported at Dr. SN Medical College within 23 days. Earlier, an anonymous complaint was lodged through the University Grants Commission's (UGC) Anti-Ragging Portal, alleging that senior students were forcing newly admitted students to address them as 'Boss'.

The complainant had also shared the phone numbers of around 90 students with the college administration. However, after investigating the matter and interacting with students, the college administration claimed that no evidence confirming ragging was found.
