Gujarat Medical College Ragging: 2 Resident Doctors Sacked, 5 Students Expelled

Around 4 am, around 60 second-year MBBS students were forced out of their beds by a group of third-year students and made to stand in lines and do 100 sit-ups, the college Dean said.

Two junior resident doctors of a medical college in Gujarat's Vadodara were sacked and five third-year MBBS students were expelled from the hostel for their alleged involvement in ragging around 60 second-year MBBS students and forcing them to do 100 sit-ups, college officials said Monday. The state government has ordered a probe into the ragging allegations in the college. Appointments of junior doctors, attached with orthopaedic and surgery departments, were terminated with immediate effect following the ragging incident in the early hours of Saturday last week in which a student vomited and collapsed and had to be admitted to the hospital for treatment, said Dr Varsha Godbole - the Dean of Gujarat Medical Education and Research Society's (GMERS) Gotri Medical College. The college, affiliated to the MS University of Vadodara, is run by GMERS, a society registered with the state government's Health and Family Welfare department.
