Indore MGM ragging case: Cop poses as student to crack case

A detailed investigation not only confirmed the crime, but also helped the cops identify 11 students involved in the case. 

A 24-year-old woman police official posed as a medical student to crack a case of ragging reported at the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial (MGM) medical college in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.  

A student of the college had registered a complaint with the University Grants Commission (UGC) helpline, following which the administration of the institute filed a criminal case against unidentified students on July 24. 

“The complaint on the UGC helpline had details about the ragging incident, but it did not mention the names of the accused and the complainant student. The complaint also carried screenshots of chats on a social media platform, but the number of students involved had not been revealed,” Sanyogitaganj police station in-charge Tehzeeb Qazi said. 

A woman police official was sent to the college, where she posed as a medical student and was able to connect all the dots in the case successfully to nail the accused, he said. 

Another woman personnel was roped in to pose as a nurse and two constables were sent as canteen workers to the college to solve the case, he said. A detailed investigation not only confirmed the crime, but also helped the police identify 11 students who were involved, the official said. Notices have been served to the accused under relevant provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC).
