PANJIM, AUG 19
Nine senior students of Goa Medical College were expelled from the boys hostel for ragging their juniors. They were later arrested by the Agassaim police under different sections of the Indian Penal Code for offences bailable under the law.
In his complaint to the police, Director (administration) GMC S V Naik said the nine students had indulged in ragging seven students of first-year MBBS in room number 10 of the hostel. He stated the seniors used criminal force and intentionally insulted their juniors.
Naik gave the names of the senior students as Bhanu Mishra, Vivek Kaser, Ankit Jain, Lalit Kumar, Vaibhav Shakya, Praveen Sen Shahi, Prosenjit Haldar and Manish Ujjwal.
He stated Guigwang K Nagam, Deepak Sehrawat, Abhishek Singh, Suyash Gupta, Brajmohan Joshi, Ashitosh Swarankar and Gautam Gondal are the junior students who were ragged on August 18 between 9 pm and 11 pm.
Medical Superintendent GMC Dr Rajan Kunkolienkar said the anti-ragging committee of the college met under the chairmanship of Dean V N Jindal. “The committee decided to expel the students from the hostel until further orders as per the Medical Council of India,” he said.
Goa Prohibition of Ragging (Amendment) Bill, 2010 was passed on August 4 in the Goa legislative assembly during the monsoon session. The bill contains strict measures to maintain a vigil over ragging activities in educational institutions.
