Fresh allegations of ragging have rocked MKCG Medical College, with a second-year MBBS student accusing a group of senior students of harassment and intimidation inside the hostel premises.
According to the complaint, the victim alleged that seniors have been obstructing him from studying in the hostel and forcing him to attend so-called ‘general body meetings’. During these meetings, the juniors are allegedly made to stand for hours, and on occasions when they resist, they are reportedly forced into stressful squatting positions as punishment.
The incident reportedly escalated on August 18, when the victim student claimed he faced severe mental and physical harassment during one such session. The following day, after refusing to attend another meeting, the student alleged that a group of seniors stormed into the hostel, hurled abuses, and issued threats.
The complaint further mentions that around six to seven senior students are involved in repeated harassment. The accused have also been allegedly consuming beer daily, playing loud DJ music, dancing, and creating disturbances inside the hostel, making it difficult for other students to focus on their studies.
Following the complaint, the issue was reported to the National Medical Commission (NMC), which has since forwarded a letter to the Dean of MKCG Medical College. The college administration has confirmed that a meeting of the Anti-Ragging Cell will be convened tomorrow to review the allegations and take appropriate action.
This incident has once again highlighted the urgent need for strict enforcement of anti-ragging measures to ensure a safe and conducive academic environment for students on campus.
