New Delhi: Delhi University's Kirori Mal College on Monday expelled two students and rusticated another for allegedly ragging a junior in the hostel and decided to file a police complaint. The accused, however, have denied the charges and said their side of the story was not heard.
The college authorities received a complaint from a first year BSc (Physical Science) student Ashutosh that he was being ragged and sexually harassed by two third-year students - Akshay Chaudhary and Hani Mohammad - in the college hostel on Sunday evening.
"We have decided to expel both the students and will register a police complaint for physically, sexually and mentally harassing a junior student. We have also rusticated another third-year student for sending Ashutosh to his seniors," Principal Bhim Sen Singh told reporters here.
The decision to expel the students was taken at a meeting of the college disciplinary and anti-ragging committee. The victim and the students accused of ragging were asked to appear before the committee but none of them turned up.
"It is a very serious case and I took the decision to expel the students with a heavy heart as I know their whole career will be spoiled," Singh said.
