Two Plus III 1st year students of the Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT) here were allegedly ragged and beaten up by the senior students in the college premises.
The matter came to light after a victim Satya Swaroop Nayak’s uncle Jajati Rout lodged a complaint at the Khandagiri police station on Tuesday.
According to sources, Satya had left the hostel room two months ago after being ragged by some senior students. The situation worsened on the day when Satya came to attend classes in the morning and was allegedly thrashed by the same senior students for not staying at the hostel.
In a bid to escape from their clutches, Satya rushed to the Khandagiri PS. On being asked, the victim narrated his ordeal to the police personnel. Following this, the cops called Satya’s uncle, who then lodged a formal complaint.
Similar circumstances were also faced by the other student, who later complained about the same.
On the basis of the complaint, police reached the spot and launched a probe into the incident. Till now no one has been arrested.
