Sixteen medical students have been suspended from Pt Jawahar lal Nehru Medical College and hostel on Thursday for creating rumpus in front of Nursing Girls Hostel.
While two students have been suspended for six months, 11 students have been punished for one month. The remaining three students have been suspended only from the hostel. The students will not be permitted to attend classes or enter the college and hostel premises for the said period. They will also remain ousted during the examinations. According to the orders issued by Dean’s office the students will not be admitted in the hostel even after six months. Parents of the thirteen students have also been apprised of the disciplinary action.
Reportedly, students of medical college reached in front of the nursing hostel in an inebriated state on late Monday night. They shouted indecent comments, hurled abuses and threw stones on the hostel building. A few inmates of the girls hostel were injured in the incident. “What happened is shameful and will not be tolerated by the college administration. Strict action has been taken against all the accused students,” said Dr Ashok Chandrakar. As soon as the medical college administration was informed about the incident, an inquiry committee was formed which was headed by medical college Dean Dr Ashok Chandrakar. The two students who have been suspended for six months will run behind an entire semester from their batchmates.
“All the 16 identified students have been suspended after an in-house inquiry. They have also been penalised with Rs 80,000 each,” said spokesperson of the medical college Dr Arvind Nerul.
