Medical College Surgeons Fined for Alleged Ragging Incident
Imagine some older students at a medical school were being mean to a younger student.
The school found out and gave the older students a fine.
The younger student said the older students were bothering them with words, but didn't physically hurt them.
Other students and some house surgeons told the younger student to stop complaining.
Now, the police are looking into it too, to see if it was a big deal.
Two house surgeons at MKCG Medical College fined for allegedly ragging a fourth-year MBBS student.
The anti-ragging committee imposed a Rs 25,000 fine on each surgeon.
The victim reported psychological harassment, but no physical assault was found.
The victim faced threats to withdraw the complaint from classmates, hostel members, and house surgeons.
Police are conducting a separate inquiry and may register a case based on ragging guidelines.
