Eleven MBBS students from the Government Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College in Indore in Madhya Pradesh were suspended for a period of three months on Thursday for allegedly berating their juniors, an official said.
In the wake of a police investigation into the theft, 11 senior students were immediately suspended and will not be allowed to stay at the university’s hostel during the suspension period, Dean Sanjay Dixit told PTI.
“These 11 senior students of the MBBS course turned out to be involved in theft during the police investigation. Post this, the college anti-eviction committee decided to take disciplinary action against them,” he said.
After the incident came to light, the dean had claimed that the violent incident, in which juniors were allegedly forced to perform obscene acts, did not take place at the university or the hostel.
Sanyogitaganj police station superintendent Tahzeeb Qazi said that on July 24, the school management filed a criminal complaint with the police after an aggrieved student submitted a petition to the University Grants Commission (UGC) helpline.
The police targeted the 11 students after a detailed investigation and recording of statements. Nine students were released after receiving a notice from the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) stating that they must cooperate with the police investigation and appear in court while being charged,” Qazi explained. Police are looking for two students in this case, he added.
