The victims were MCA students who were ragged by students of third and fourth semesters. On Aug 12, the anti-ragging committee got a tip-off about ragging and conducted a raid. The team caught the accused red-handed in Sabarmati hostel.

Similarly, on Aug 3, the Kirori Mal College (KMC) in Delhi University's north campus expelled two students and rusticated another for allegedly ragging a junior in the hostel. Delhi Police have registered a case against two students.

The KMC authorities received a complaint from a first-year B.Sc. student, Ashutosh, that he was ragged by two third-year students - Akshay Chaudhary and Hani Mohammad - in the college hostel the day before.

The Supreme Court has asked educational institutions to observe zero tolerance towards ragging. During the past year, India witnessed 88 cases of ragging, of which 12 proved fatal.
