RAJKOT: Allegations of ragging have rocked the Government Physiotherapy College in Jamnagar with 28 second-year students submitting a complaint against their 15 seniors.
The college authorities have initiated a probe by the anti-ragging committee following the complaint and the report is expected by Thursday evening.
According to reports, the students alleged that their seniors called them on the pretext of introduction and harassed them. However, the college authorities refused to specify the nature of harassment. Sources claimed that the juniors were made to stand in the cold weather without clothes and some of them were forced to climb trees. However, there was no official confirmation regarding these allegations.
Talking to reporters, in-charge principal Dinesh Sorani said, “After getting the complaint on Tuesday evening, we had called a meeting of the anti-ragging committee and ordered a probe. We have also informed our head office about it. We will take action as per UGC guidelines once the committee submits its report.”
According to Sorani, the college strictly follows the no-ragging rule and students are explained about the consequences of ragging at the time of admission.
If the allegations are proved, the accused students could be expelled from the hostel based on the seriousness.
