Six senior medical students have been suspended and a police complaint will be filed after an anti-ragging committee found them guilty of harassing junior doctors at Bhavnagar Medical College in Gujarat, authorities said on Friday.
The action follows allegations by 13 first-year postgraduate doctors in the Orthopedic Department of Sir T. Hospital Medical College that they were subjected to ragging, mental harassment and financial exploitation by six second-year students. The case had drawn the attention of the Gujarat government, with Health Minister Prafull Pansheriya seeking a detailed report and directing officials to conduct a thorough investigation.
According to the college administration, the decision was taken after an 8.5-hour meeting involving Dean Dr. Chinmay Shah and the Anti-Ragging Committee. The panel found all six accused students guilty and imposed varying periods of suspension. One student has been suspended for two years, three students for one year each, and two others for six months.
