Cases of ragging of old students with new students in college often come to the fore. Seniors, in the name of joking, harass new students so much that sometimes the consequences are very bad. Now such an incident has come to light from Gujarat, where in the name of ragging, a first year MBBS student was harassed so much by his seniors that he lost his life.
This case has come to light from the Medical Education and Research Society (GMERS) Medical College in Dharpur, Patan, Gujarat, where Anil Mathania, an 18-year-old first year student, was made to stand for 3 hours by his seniors. About 7 to 8 senior students asked the deceased Anil to give separate introductions to everyone but when Anil’s tolerance limit crossed after standing for more than 3 hours, he fell unconscious.

After this, his fellow students admitted Anil to the hospital and Anil died during treatment. After this Anil’s family members were informed. Action was taken against the students who harassed Anil in the college in the name of ragging and 15 senior students were suspended from the college, and an FIR has also been registered. Anil’s brother has demanded justice.
