Bhubaneswar: Four students of the Indian Institute of Tourism and Travel Management (IITTM) in Dumuduma have been expelled from the hostel for allegedly ragging their batch mate.

four students.
An internal committee has also been constituted by the authorities to inquire into the matter and take further course of action.
