A group of 150 first-year medical students were forced to shave their heads and salute their seniors in a UP University.
Uttar Pradesh: A group of 150 first-year medical students were forced to shave their heads and salute their seniors in a UP University.
In a video recorded of the incident, the students were made to "bow in reverence" to the seniors. This prompted the authorities at the Uttar Pradesh University of Medical Sciences in Safai village to take notice.
The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Dr Raj Kumar, stated, "We keep a strict vigil on such activities and we have a separate dean social welfare for students. Further, we have an anti-ragging committee to deal with complaints," he said, adding, "We also have a special squad which visits every place in University to keep a check over ragging. The students can complain to the anti-ragging committee or even to their wardens."
In one of the videos shot from a distance, a group of students clad in white coats, are seen walking in a single file. All of them have had their heads shaved.
