5 MBBS students suspended for ragging in Nagarkurnool

Hyderabad: Days after police registered cases related to ragging, the Nagarkurnool Government Medical College management on Thursday suspended three medical students for harassing their juniors.

The college’s anti-ragging committee, led by senior officials, held a meeting and decided to take disciplinary action. Based on their findings, the management suspended three third-year MBBS students and two second-year MBBS students.

Officials stated that the suspended students had been barred from academic activities and directed to vacate their hostel premises immediately. Their parents have also been informed about the action.

The incident occurred a few days ago when three students allegedly ragged a first-year MBBS student on campus. Police registered cases against them after learning that they had assaulted the junior, filmed the act, and forcibly seized his mobile phone. They also attempted to transfer money from his account using digital payment methods.
