A four-member committee has been formed to investigate the incidents.

'If the students are found guilty by the probe committee, adequate action would be initiated against them. The university shall not tolerate any form of ragging on the campus,' Bhuyan said.

Meanwhile, the All Assam Students' Union (AASU) Friday urged authorities of all educational institutions to adopt a zero tolerance policy while dealing with students found involved in ragging.

'Let us make it very clear that there should be no compromise when it comes to taking action on students found involved in ragging. Authorities of educational institutions should deal with the menace of ragging with a firm hand,' AASU adviser Sammujjal Bhattacharya, said.
