Ragging forces girl to leave KU Hisar, October 1 Anuja, who joined the post-graduate course at the university after securing 86.5 per cent marks in the B.Sc., said here that her seniors had been continuously forcing her to indulge in objectionable acts on the name of ragging in Kasturba Hostel following which she got mentally upset. Her seniors (Minakshi, Madhu, Meera, Shefali and Aarti) teased her on the excuse of ragging and even asked their boyfriends to misbehave with her, Anuja alleged in a written complaint to the university authorities from whom she has claimed the refund of the fee and other expenditure to pay off the debt of her parents. In a statement, Anuja has said the mischiefs of these girls went on increasing and when she complained to the authorities she was threatened of dire consequences. According to her, the hostel’s warden Pushpa Sharma took her complaint lightly and filed the complaint without seeking any explanation of the perpetrators. Then she complained to chief warden N.D. Sharma and chief security officer D.S. Sandhu but no action was taken. Her victimisation at the hands of senior girls continued and ultimately, broken at heart, she quit her studies and was compelled to leave the hostel. Anuja’s father Balbir Kalwan, a resident of Hisar, had availed a loan for her studies. The man had even sold his wife’s jewellery to pay for the daughter’s higher studies, the family lamented.

Probe motivated, alleges Ran Singh Rohtak, October 1 Addressing newspersons here today, he said the bureau was registered cases against Opposition leaders to ‘please’ the ruling party. He had advised the state Congress leaders to be vigilant and collect information about the corruption cases by the state government so as to pay them in the same coin whenever the Congress came to power in Haryana. He said the inquiry being conducted by the bureau against him on charges of acquiring property disproportionate to his known source of income was politically motivated. He challenged the bureau to make public collective details of the property allegedly owned by him. He said he owned only one residential house at Charkhi Dadri and had no other property either in his name or benami in any other village, town or city. Mr Mann said if the Chief Minister, Mr Om Prakash Chautala was keen on eradicating corruption in the state, he should first order judicial inquiry by a stitting Judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court into the allegations of corruption levelled by Mr Partap Singh Chautala against the Chief Minister. He alleged that the government was “misusing” the vigilance bureau to tarnish the image of the Opposition leaders and gag them. |
