MBBS student alleges ragging at Doon medical college

Dehradun: In a shocking ragging allegation surfaced from Government Doon Medical College in Dehradun, an MBBS student has claimed that seniors forced him to shave his beard and get a haircut.

The complaint was submitted anonymously, and the anti-ragging committee has taken up the matter for investigation, Principal Dr Geeta Jain confirmed.

Meanwhile, a senior doctor at the college indicated that the administration may soon address the issue publicly.

Speaking to TOI, Dr Jain said, "The committee is looking into all the aspects of the complaint as the complainant is anonymous and has not revealed the identity of the seniors."

Similarly, the student said, "The college is likely to hold a press conference to address the media regarding the complaint. It is imperative to know the victim as well as the perpetrators, to initiate any kind of action."

The fresh complaint comes three months after Medical Dialogues reported that the administration had fined 24 students for indiscipline following a ragging incident. In that case, a first-year MBBS student alleged that seniors had taken him outside the campus and beaten him with a belt, leaving him “shaken and terrified.”

The student from the 2025 batch of Government Doon Medical College stated in a written complaint that he had been mentally disturbed and living in fear since the incident.

Taking disciplinary action, the administration suspended nine MBBS students and expelled them from the hostel. Of them, two students were suspended from classes for two months, expelled from the hostel and internship for the entire course duration, and fined Rs 50,000 each. The remaining seven students were suspended from classes for one month and expelled from the hostel for three months.
