Indore Medical College Investigates Severe Ragging Allegations at Boys’ Hostel

Victims detail physical and mental abuse by seniors, prompting calls for stricter security measures and administrative reforms.

A first-year MBBS student at Indore's MGM Medical College reported severe ragging, including nightly harassment and physical abuse, leading him to relocate from the boys' hostel.
Social media posts by an anonymous user highlighted allegations of torture and abuse by seniors, drawing widespread attention and prompting investigations by the college and district administration.
The anti-ragging committee interviewed current hostel residents but excluded students who had left due to harassment, sparking criticism over the investigation's scope.
The district administration has recommended enhanced security measures, including additional CCTV cameras, panic buttons, and segregating juniors in a separate hostel block.
Officials, including the mayor, have called for strict action against perpetrators, while the investigation continues with assistance from the cyber cell to trace anonymous complaints.
