Proctor, Rajeev Khare told TOI that an investigation is on to identify the culprits. However, the biggest challenge in front of the authorities is how to identify the complainants."We are trying to identify the complainants, so that the real culprits could be caught. We have tried to convince the juniors that their identity will not be disclosed as it is the responsibility of the college to stop ragging," said Khare. "Unfortunately, none of them has come forward." Director, NLIU, Prof S S Singh, told media that a probe has been ordered but claimed that the complaints were not entirely true as some people named in the complaint do not exist on campus.Singh said, "Everything in the complaints is not true."
