As many as four students were expelled from Dibrugarh University in Assam on Wednesday in the wake of the unfortunate incident of ragging that led to a junior year student jumping off the second floor of his hostel.
According to reports, the four students have been barred from taking admission into any university across India.
The four students who were expelled today were identified as Galav Deka, Kamaleshwar Chutia, Mousam Phukan and Chao Puseng Kham Baruah.
They have been expelled for a duration of three years from the university for their hand in the unfortunate incident.
Moreover, the wardens of the three blocks of Padmanath Gohain Baruah Hostel, where the incident took place, have been dismissed.
In addition, the in-charges of Mofizuddin Ahmed Hazarika Hostel and Miles Bronson Hostel were also dismissed in light of the incident.
Meanwhile, new appointments to the vacant positions have also been made following the dismissals.
Stringent measures have been taken by the university authorities after the dreadful ragging incident came to light. An Anti-Ragging Vigilance Cell has been constituted to prevent such incidents in the future.
There will be three departments under the newly constituted anti-ragging cell, reports stated. One of them will be a grievance cell, while the others will be a rapid action cell and a counseling cell that will function under it.
This comes after four students were rusticated from the university yesterday for their role in the incident, which came a day after another 18 had been dismissed.
Earlier in the day, a high-level committee consisting of five members was formed. The committee will have to submit a report within three days.
It may be noted that Anand Sarma, a junior-year student in the university’s commerce department jumped off the second floor of the hostel to save himself from brutal assault by seniors in the name of ragging, injuring himself seriously.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he is currently fighting for life and is under strict observation.
