DIBRUGARH: According to reports, two post-graduate students harassed a junior post-graduate student, which is a serious infraction of college norms and regulations.
Assam Medical College and Hospital in Dibrugarh has become the site of yet another horrifying ragging episode following the Dibrugarh University incident.
They are charged with physically and mentally intimidating the students. Dr. Sayan Mukherjee and Dr. Saket Saraf, both from the orthopedics department at Assam Medical College in Dibrugarh's batch 2021–22, have been named as the two offenders.
Disciplinary procedures have been taken against the two students on the recommendation of the Anti-Ragging Committee.
For a period of six months, they have been barred from both academic and class attendance. With immediate effect, they have also been kicked out of the hostel.
On Monday, another alleged ragging incident was reported at a college in the Jorhat area of upper Assam.
The event was made public a day after a student from Dibrugarh University committed suicide by jumping over the hostel's two-story structure on campus on Sunday, purportedly as a result of harsh verbal and physical abuse from more seasoned pupils.
A B.Com. student from Jagannath Barooah College named Pranab Chutia claimed that he was subjected to physical and mental abuse, which ultimately caused him to vacate the dorm.
"The senior residents of the college's Sayeed Abdul Malik hostel tortured me. Every afternoon, I used to receive discipline from the older students. They forbade me from sleeping at night. I could not bear that at all. I found it difficult to focus on my schoolwork,'' he said.
The student went on to say that he had to leave the hostel because there was no relief from the ragging.
Chutia continued, "The situation has gotten worse for me because my parents are finding it difficult to pay my bills right now.
When approached, Utpal Jyoti Mahanta, the college's principal, declined to comment on the matter.
