A notice dated January 12 pasted on the college notice board issued by officiating VNIT director Chintamani Moghe has barred ten students including, Jayant Kumar and Niraj Sawarna, the two complainants in ragging case, from taking part in training and placement programme until further orders. The director couldn't be contacted on his mobile and office landline for comments.
Kumar and Sawarna had lodged a police complaint of ragging in spite of intense pressure from their lecturers not to do so, sources said. The action has spelt doom for students' future prospects. These students were also prohibited from holding any post in the students council or other organising committees of any technical or cultural event. They have also been asked to give an undertaking that any act of indiscipline on their part will make them liable for disciplinary action including cancellation of registration in the institute. They were also directed to stay away from the hostel. The notice cautioned that their behaviour and activities would be under a close watch and any act of indiscipline would lead to stringent action. Apart from complainants, the college management has acted against Abhimanyu Singh, Ritesh Kumar, Gyaneshwar Kazi, Vivek Kumar, Divyesh Upadhyay, Shubham Verma, Prashant Kumar Das, Shwetank Pandey and Anthony Singh -- all third year students-- who saved the victims from further thrashing. Both Kumar and Sawarna were not available for comments. The same notice was handed over to the accused students also. Those six students were served with the notice on January 14, which too is in possession of TOI, only after the victim students protested. This notice clearly mentioned that the accused had beaten and manhandled Kumar and Sawarna on the night of January 4-5 in the post-graduate hostel. After the incident which reportedly took place in front of VNIT staff including lecturers, the accused were served with show-cause notice on January 11. After considering their reply, their hostel facility was permanently withdrawn and they were asked to vacate their rooms with their belongings within 36 hours. The notice warned the accused that intimating about their alleged misdeeds to the organisation in which they were placed was deferred presently but will continue to remain under consideration. It also warned that any further act of violation of rules, they will be liable for permanent cancellation of their registration. Ironically, VNIT then cancelled registration of only one candidate - Tanay Mahajan - while others went scot free. The Ambazari police last Thursday arrested six students for alleged ragging under Section 4 of Maharashtra Prohibition of Ragging Act, 1999, and they were also charged with physical assault and threatening the victims under Sections 323, 504, and 109 read with 34 of IPC. They include Abhishek Mishra, Pranav Dikshit, Gauravdip Chakraborty, Pallav Jha, and Ankit Chhabra apart from Mahajan.
