Two MBBS students expelled from hostel in Ratlam over ragging incident
Bhopal: Authorities at Dr Laxmi Narayan Pandey Government Medical College in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, have expelled two second-year MBBS students from the hostel for the duration of their course following allegations of ragging a junior.
The students, identified as Amolik and Ayushman, allegedly entered the first-year students’ hostel late on Wednesday night in an inebriated condition, at a time when no security guard was present. Inside, they are reported to have consumed more alcohol, harassed junior students, cut the hair of one first-year student and issued threats of severe consequences if the matter was reported.
Despite the threats, the affected students informed the hostel warden, Dr Devendra Chauhan, who is also an assistant professor in the Department of Surgery. The incident was reviewed by the college’s anti-ragging committee on Thursday morning.
Following deliberations, the panel barred one student from academic activities for a year and the other for six months, in addition to expelling both from the hostel for the remainder of their MBBS course as reported by the New Indian Express.

According to the family, the room in which Anjali was found was locked from the inside. The door was later forcibly opened by a neighbour and her sister with the help of a crowbar.
Her body was found lying on the bed inside the room, police said.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that Anjali had allegedly hanged herself using a piece of cloth tied to the ceiling fan.
It is suspected that the noose eventually might have loosened or torn off, resulting in her being found lying on the bed.
Family members informed the police that Anjali was a final-year student of a librarian science course from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). About a week ago, her final-year examination results were declared, and she had failed, following which she had been under depression, they said.
The family has not raised any allegation of foul play, police said, adding that no suicide note or external injury marks were found on the body during the initial inspection.
Inquest proceedings have been initiated in the matter as per the law. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death, and further investigation is underway, police added.
