The victim who was found unconscious in the toilet was immediately taken to a hospital by the faculty members.
In a case of ragging, a student was brutally beaten in the toilet by the senior students of Kannur Naher Arts and Science College.
The incident took place on Friday afternoon, when the victim Anshad, a second-year BA Economics student from Chekkikulam, was returning back to the college after offering prayers at the mosque nearby.
He was allegedly assaulted by about 15 senior students after they dragged him to the toilet, as there were no CCTV cameras around the place. The victim who was found unconscious in the toilet was immediately taken to a hospital in Varam by the faculty members and later transferred to another private hospital in Chala in Kannur. After he gained consciousness, he revealed the details of assault against him by the senior students.
