GUWAHATI: A student of the Dibrugarh University in Assam was grievously injured after he had jumped off a two-storey building to escape ragging.
The victim, Anand Sarma, is now admitted at the ICU of a private hospital in Dibrugarh. He is stated to be critical.
Anand, a commerce student, and two others were allegedly beaten up by a group of senior students and an alumnus. The incident occurred two days ago at university hostel.
The university authority promised stern actions against the assailants. The police has arrested three students.
Anand’s mother Sarita lodged an FIR with the police alleging that the students involved in ragging had tortured him and attempted to kill him. She alleged he had been subjected to ragging for the past four months.
“We had lodged a complaint with the university authority but no action was taken against the culprits. If actions were taken, my son would not have been in ICU,” she said.
The incident drew the attention of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. “It has come to notice that a Dibrugarh University student is hurt in an alleged case of ragging. Close watch maintained & follow-up action coordinated with district administration. Efforts on to nab the accused, victim being provided medical care. Appeal to students, say NO to Ragging,” he tweeted.
