Guwahati: In yet another shocking case of ragging was reported in Silchar of Assam where a student was hospitalized after being allegedly assaulted by several students at the National Institute of Technology (NIT).
The victim identified as Shrikant Vaid, a fourth-semester student who is undergoing treatment at a hospital.
Meanwhile, a FIR has been filed against 18 students at Ghunghur Chowki in Silchar.
The victims’ mothers claimed that several students brutally beat her son and even attempted to murder him.
”When we send our child to institutes for higher education rely on the institution, but if the child is being treated in this manner, then how one can think of sending his or her child back to the institution,” the victim’s mother said while speaking to media over the matter.
”He covered his face and sat when they were beating him. Once someone picked a rod to beat him but he was stopped by someone near to him,” she added.
The mother further asked Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to take harsh action against the culprits.
”Please do something before we do the candle march. We can at least take some precautionary measures so that these type of atrocities and violence doesn’t happen in any institution. I appeal to the Chief Minister to give me justice,” she added.
