Berhampur: A second-year MBBS student of MKCG Medical College in Odisha’s Berhampur city has brought allegation of ragging by seniors, prompting the authorities to launch a probe into the matter.
Sources said the anti-ragging committee of the college has initiated an investigation into the allegation made by the second-year student.
It was alleged that some students residing different hostels of the medical college were allegedly subjected to physical and mental harassment by their seniors.
Meanwhile, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has taken cognisance of the complaints lodged by the parents of the victim students and has directed the Dean of the medical college to conduct an investigation.
The college authorities have assured cooperation and have formed an internal committee to probe the allegation.
It may be recalled that a few months ago, Rudra Raut, a second-year student at MKCG Medical College, was subjected to ragging. Action was taken against four senior students for their alleged involvement in the incident.
While two fourth-year students were barred from entering the campus for two months, two others were instructed to vacate their hostel and skip classes for two weeks over the issue.
