Six Bhavnagar Medical College Students Suspended for Ragging Allegations Six senior medical students at Bhavnagar Medical College in Gujarat have been suspended for up to two years following allegations of harassment and ragging against junior doctors, according to authorities. An anti-ragging committee, led by Dean Dr Chinmay Shah, found the students guilty of subjecting 13 first-year postgraduate doctors in the Orthopedic Department of Sir T Hospital Medical College to mental harassment, financial exploitation, and physical intimidation. The college administration confirmed the suspensions and stated a police complaint will be filed. The decision followed an 8.5-hour meeting involving the committee and college officials. The allegations include claims that the accused students forced junior doctors to remain in stressful physical positions for extended periods, denied them adequate rest and meal breaks, and prevented them from leaving the trauma centre. Some were allegedly prohibited from using protective lead aprons while working in the X-ray department, exposing them to radiation risks. The complainants also reported being subjected to psychological intimidation and other forms of abuse. The college administration has begun recording statements from all 13 complainants and is questioning the six accused students as part of an ongoing investigation. The case has drawn attention from the Gujarat government, with Health Minister Prafull Pansheriya directing officials to conduct a detailed and impartial investigation. The minister emphasized the need for strict action against those found responsible, stating, "Immediate and Strict Action Against Guilty Students in the Ragging Cases of Bhavnagar Medical College and B.J.
