In a decisive move against campus ragging, Allahabad University recently suspended 16 students following their alleged involvement in a disturbing incident at Sir Sunderlal Hostel. The action comes after a swift investigation triggered by a student complaint.

An anti-ragging squad, under the supervision of Proctor Professor Rakesh Singh, conducted a surprise inspection of the hostel on October 9, uncovering evidence pointing to several students’ involvement in the alleged misconduct.

Following the inspection, a disciplinary committee was constituted to examine the matter in detail. Based on the committee’s findings, the university not only suspended the 16 students with immediate effect but also ordered their expulsion from the hostel.

In addition, show-cause notices have been issued, instructing the students to appear before the inquiry committee on October 30. They are required to attend with their parents or guardians and valid identification to submit their written explanations.

The university’s firm response underscores its zero-tolerance policy toward ragging, sending a strong message about maintaining discipline and student safety on campus.
