Kerala Ragging Case

A first-year student of a technology institute in Kerala's Idukki has been hospitalized, allegedly after a brutal attack by his seniors. He has sustained severe injuries on his legs, doctors said.

Taking a serious view of incidents of alleged ragging in two professional colleges, the Kerala government has sought a report from educational institutions on steps to check the practise and warned of stern action against principals failing to stop it.

Five students, accused of ragging their juniors at a government college in Kerala's Kottayam, have surrendered before the police a day after one of the students, who accused them of stripping and torturing him, was hospitalised in Thrissur with kidney malfunction. Four accused are still missing.

A 22-year-old student has been hospitalised in Kerala's Thrissur after alleged ragging at a polytechnic. Police said the young man, who happens to be a Dalit, was stripped and made to do rigorous exercises for more than five hours.

Four days after a student committed suicide, allegedly following ragging by seniors at a college in Kerala's Kozhikode, six students have been arrested. The police have filed cases of abetting suicide and ragging, in which three lecturers of the college have also been named.

Over a month after an 18-year-old student of a Karnataka nursing college was forced to drink phenyl, which burnt her internal organs, three of her seniors have been arrested on charges of attempt to murder in addition to ragging.

A 19-year-old student allegedly forced by her seniors to drink a liquid used to clean toilets has said that her college in Karnataka is complicit in the extreme ragging because it did not punish earlier incidents.

The seven Keralite engineering students of a private college in Namakkal, arrested on the charge of murdering one of their juniors and severely injuring another in a suspected case of ragging, were on Saturday remanded to judicial custody for 15 days by a court.
