Ragging Scandal Unfolds: Accusations and Tensions Rise at Kottayam Government Nursing College

The opposition UDF accuses students in a Kottayam Government Nursing College ragging incident of having ties with the Left-leaning SFI. Five students were arrested as shocking footage revealed brutal hazing. Higher Education Minister promised strict action, despite SFI's denial of any connections with the accused.

The Congress-led opposition UDF has raised serious allegations against the accused in the Kottayam Government Nursing College ragging case, claiming they have affiliations with the Left student organisation, SFI. Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan denounced these alleged links and called for accountability.

Even as Higher Education Minister R Bindu assured strict measures against the perpetrators, she noted the complexities of direct intervention due to the institution's affiliation with the Kerala University of Health Sciences. The ragging case has prompted widespread protests and demands for justice from student groups like KSU and ABVP.

Disturbing visuals have emerged, depicting inhumane acts perpetrated on a junior student, leading to the arrest of five third-year students under multiple sections, including the Prohibition of Ragging Act. The ongoing investigation aims to ensure accountability and prevent future incidents, highlighting a critical need for reforms in educational institutions.
