Junior doctor found dead inside hostel room in Gujarat, 4 suspended for ragging
Statements of fellow students indicated that the deceased doctor had faced repeated mental harassment and torture by senior doctors.
Four second-year medical students at a university in Gujarat's Surat have been suspended for six months following an Anti-Ragging Committee's investigation. The committee discovered that the students allegedly subjected a junior doctor to verbal abuse, indecent behavior, and mental harassment. The deceased doctor's room was discovered on Monday, with no suicide note found.
However, fellow students reported that the deceased had faced repeated mental harassment and torture from senior doctors. The suspended students, including three women, have been ordered to leave the hostel and refrain from academic activities for six months. Superintendent Dr Parul Vadgama confirmed that the hospital management will also file a complaint against the four doctors.
The college dean, Dr Jayesh Brahmbhatt, led the inquiry, which took place over a span of twelve hours, from Sunday evening to Monday morning. The Anti-Ragging Committee interviewed residents, senior doctors, hospital staff, and faculty members from the Microbiology department.
