Panel confirms Ragging at GMC Dharmapuri, 4 MBBS students booked
Dharmapuri: An enquiry by a panel set up in Dharmapuri Government Medical College has confirmed that the allegations of ragging against four third-year MBBS students were true.
Following the Committee's report, the senior students have been suspended and a police complaint has been lodged against them as per the provisions of the anti-ragging law.
The victim, a young man now in a depressed state of mind, is being treated for injuries on his hand (around wrist), medical authorities told PTI.
Taking stringent action, the college authority had suspended four third-year MBBS students who were allegedly involved in the ragging incident from attending classes. Apart from this, two hostel wardens had also been relieved of their duty as the college found dereliction of duty on their parts and also opined that the warden failed to protect the student from being ragged.
Although the teen had lodged a formal complaint against the four third-year students for ragging him, he had withdrawn it later.
PTI adds that following a complaint, a panel was set up by the Dharmapuri Government Medical College (DGMC), and an enquiry found that the allegation of ragging including verbal abuse was true.
The findings of the committee led to the suspension of four students, all of them in their third year from the college and permanent suspension from the hostel.
Subsequently, a police complaint was lodged against four of them as per the provisions of anti-ragging law.
"We are on the lookout for these four students," a police officer told PTI adding an FIR was filed against them after the college dean filed a written complaint. The victim tried to end life last week and he was ragged on a number of occasions before that, sources said.
Previously, while speaking to IANS, the Dean of Dharmapuri Medical College Hospital, Dr Amudhavallli had said, "The boy is a native of Rasipuram in Namakkal district and had lodged a complaint a few weeks before that he was subjected to ragging. We had notified his parents and had commenced an investigation, but later he withdrew the complaint."
