A case of ragging has come to the fore in the Indira Gandhi medical College (IGMC), Shimla. Two senior students working as interns in the IGMC allegedly manhandled and beat up a third year student last night.

The victim, in his complaint, alleged that two seniors, who were drunk and creating a ruckus, beat him up outside the hostel gate. The incident occurred around 11 pm when the victim was on his way to Raman Hostel from Bhava Hostel along with his batchmates.

“I saw that there was a chaos at the hostel gate and two seniors, under the influence of alcohol, were hurling abuses. Later, they started beating me and fled from the spot,” said the victim.

On a complaint filed by him at the Lakkar Bazaar police post, a case has been registered under Sections 323 and 334 of the Anti-Ragging Act.

“The Shimla police have zero tolerance towards ragging and a report in this regard has been sought from the IGMC,” said SP, Shimla, Mohit Chawla.
