Two rusticated from hostel, 11 fined for ragging at KGMU


Lucknow, Aug 26 (IANS): Two medical students have been rusticated from the hostel and 11 others fined for ragging their juniors at the King George's Medical University (KGMU) here, officials said on Saturday.

The proctorial board initiated action after the 2017 batch MBBS students submitted evidence to prove they were threatened and abused on the phone by two seniors - Anurag Agarwal and Abhijeet Gupta.

The students were told to wear white trousers, long aprons, black shoes and red socks. They were also asked to bow whenever they saw a senior approaching them. The students told this to their parents who then petitioned senior doctors at the varsity.

Professor R.S. Kushwaha, the chief proctor of KGMU, confirmed action against the errant students and said if this was repeated in the future then they would be expelled from the university. 

Charged with harassing, intimidating, threatening and abusing juniors, the two students have also been barred from entering the hostel premises.
