Sefai (Uttar Pradesh), August 21
Over 150 new students of the Uttar Pradesh University of Medical Sciences in Sefai were made to tonsure their heads and parade on the campus in an alleged case of ragging.
A video clip of the students with tonsured heads parading on the campus went viral on social media on Tuesday.
The newcomers were made to bend and chant "Huzur tohfa kabool hai" -- taking cue from the popular Bollywood blockbuster "Three Idiots".

Ragging has been banned by the Supreme Court, but incidents continue to happen in educational institutions. IANS
