MGM Medical College Indore: Students booked for ragging
A case of ragging has been registered against the unidentified senior students of government-run Mahatma Gandhi Memorial (MGM) Medical College in Indore.
As per reports, a criminal case of ragging has been registered against unidentified students of the government-run Mahatma Gandhi Memorial (MGM) Medical College in Indore.
The case has been registered after a complaint was received on the University Grants Commission (UGC) helpline, said police, as reported by The Print.
Tehzeeb Qazi, in charge of the Sanyogitaganj police station, said that a formal complaint was lodged by an employee of the MGM Medical College against these senior students and the FIR is registered under sections 342 (wrongful confinement), 294 (obscene act), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
“We will identify the accused by recording statements of the victim junior students of the medical college,” he said.
Seniors allegedly harassed juniors
Qazi said, as per the complaint, the senior students of MGM Medical College harassed their juniors physically and mentally by issuing awkward orders in the last few days.
MGM Medical College Dean Dr Sanjay Dixit said that a student of their institute had complained to the UGC's anti-ragging helpline a few days ago and based on that a case has been registered. He said that the college management has provided all the details of the ragging incident to the police for investigation and the incident took place outside the college premises and its hostels.
“Juniors were also forced to slap each other and were beaten by the seniors when they failed to do so. Mobile phones were also kept away from them in the flats so that nothing could be recorded. Seniors also made comments on the body, figure, and skin colour of girl students of the junior batch. Such activities are traumatising and made them mentally unstable due to which they are getting suicidal thoughts as well,” the complaint reads, as reported by Free Press Journal.
