14 Second-Year MBBS Students Suspended for Ragging at GMC Kamareddy

Fourteen second-year MBBS students from the Government Medical College (GMC) in Kamareddy have been suspended following a complaint filed with the National Medical Commission (NMC). According to Principal Dr. B. Valya, the college received a complaint forwarded by the NMC after a representation from the freshmen. Dr. Valya explained that the incident occurred when second-year students, who did not reside in the college hostel, entered an unauthorized area of the shared residence facility. Freshers and final-year students were housed together in the same hostel. Following the complaint, the college's anti-ragging committee conducted an investigation and took disciplinary actions against the students involved. Four students were suspended for six months, while ten others received a four-month suspension. Dr. Valya stated that the college is preparing to submit an action-taken report to the NMC. This incident highlights ongoing efforts to curb ragging within medical education institutions.
