Six interns of Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) at Government Medical College and Hospital (GMC&H) Nagpur were barred from internship after they allegedly found ragging a junior student. The students also asked to vacate the college hospital, officials said.
An official of GMC&H said that the six MBBS students are undergoing internships at the college. They ragged a first year MBBS student in April this year who secretly filmed a video of the incident and mailed the complaint to the Central Anti-Ragging Committee.
The Committee immediately directed the GMC&H administration to initiate action against the students. Dean of GMC&H Dr Raj Gajbhiye issued orders suspending internship of the students and also directed them to vacate the college hostel. Sources claimed that the victim was allegedly mentally and physically tortured by the seniors. The incident occurred six months ago. However, the formal complaint was lodged by the victim recently. The reason behind lodging the complaint after six months was not ascertained so far.
The Anti-Ragging Committee of the college also complained to Ajni police and requested to register an offence against the students. Senior Police Inspector Nitin Phatangare of Ajni police station informed ‘ that he requested the college administration to send a detailed report about the ragging. On PI Phatangare’s request, the college administration is likely to send a detailed report and an official of the college as complainant in the case on Thursday.
