Med students expelled for false ragging claim

KULLU: Five MBBS students of Government Medical College and Hospital, Nerchowk, in Himachal Pradesh have been expelled from classes and the hostel for three months for falsely accusing their seniors of ragging.

The students were punished on recommendations of the college's anti-ragging committee. They are from the 2022 MBBS batch. Each student was also fined Rs 25,000.

A college staff member said the anti-ragging committee initiated an inquiry following allegations in 2023. "The committee, during its investigations, found the allegations to be false," he said. TNN
