Back in 2019, GSVM medical college had experienced another violent incident of ragging where junior resident doctors attached to the institute's surgical department allegedly created ruckus at the campus hostel in an inebriated state.

Medical Dialogues had reported about the incident where during their drunken bid, the junior resident doctors went to the Medical College's Boys Hostel and ragged the Post Graduate (PG) medicos. They allegedly dragged the PG medical (MD/MS) students out of their rooms, beat them brutally and push them off the stairs, hurting them severely. Some of the bikes and chairs were also broken by during the incident.
