Indore: In a case of ragging, an 18-year-old student suffered serious leg fractures and multiple injuries in the campus of a private engineering college in Rau near here, police said today.

The incident took place yesterday at the Institute of Science and Technology after the college break when a group of 10-15 seniors attacked Sarthak William with iron rods and a baseball bat when he did not comply with their dictates, they said.

Following the incident, Sarthak suffered serious leg fractures and multiple injuries on his body, ASP Rakesh Kumar Singh said quoting the hospital report.
