CCTV footage from the college hostel showed ragging, prompting the administration to suspend eight first‑year MBBS students of the 2025 batch.
The administration of a medical college in Amritsar, Punjab, reviewed CCTV recordings from its hostel after a ragging incident was reported. The footage captured senior students physically harassing junior MBBS trainees, confirming the allegations of abuse.
Based on the video evidence and corroborating information, the college authorities imposed disciplinary action on eight first‑year MBBS students belonging to the 2025 batch. All eight were suspended pending a formal inquiry, and their names have been placed on the college's internal disciplinary register.
The college issued a brief statement indicating that the decision was taken to uphold a safe and respectful learning environment. It also affirmed that any further violations would attract stricter penalties in line with the institution’s anti‑ragging policy.
Ragging remains a concern across Indian higher‑education institutions, and the swift response by the Punjab medical college underscores the growing emphasis on zero tolerance for such behaviour.
