Five medical students suspended from hostel for ragging in Vadodara

  • | Tuesday | 27th July, 2021

The decision was taken after second year MBBS students named five third year students in their statements given to the 12-member anti-ragging committee which is probing the first-ever ragging incident at the medical college.

Last week a case of ragging came forward in which third year students of GMERS Medical college were suspected.

Five third year MBBS students will be suspended from their hostel campus in connection with the last week’s ragging incident at the GMERS Medical College, Gotri.

“The decision was unanimously taken by the anti-ragging committee today (Monday). We will convey it to their parents who have been called for a meeting on Tuesday,” medical college’s dean Dr Varsha Godbole told.

The decision was taken after second year MBBS students named five third year students in their statements given to the 12-member anti-ragging committee which is probing the first-ever ragging incident at the medical college.

It was in wee hours of Saturday last that around 60 second year MBBS students were made to stand in a line and asked to do 100 sit-ups by their seniors.

The college has already terminated two junior residents from orthopaedic and surgery departments while it is seeking help from the police department for action against a third student who was accompanying the duo.

The trio allegedly came into a car and asked third year MBBS students to make second year MBBS students do sit-ups. One student had even collapsed while doing sit-ups.

“The police inspector had remained present during our meeting today (Monday) and sought a report from us. We have submitted our report to the police department so that action against the former student who is not working with us in any capacity can be taken,” Godbole said.

“We are waiting for the anti-ragging committee’s report. Once we get the report, we will file a complaint against the concerned persons. We have also deployed some cops at the medical college to avoid any untoward incident,” said a police official.
