Cases of ragging of old students with new students in college often come to the fore. Seniors, in the name of joking, harass new students so much that sometimes the consequences are very bad. Now such an incident has come to light from Gujarat, where in the name of ragging, a first year MBBS student was harassed so much by his seniors that he lost his life.
This case has come to light from the Medical Education and Research Society (GMERS) Medical College in Dharpur, Patan, Gujarat, where Anil Mathania, an 18-year-old first year student, was made to stand for 3 hours by his seniors. About 7 to 8 senior students asked the deceased Anil to give separate introductions to everyone but when Anil's tolerance limit crossed after standing for more than 3 hours, he fell unconscious.
After this, his fellow students admitted Anil to the hospital and Anil died during treatment. After this Anil's family members were informed. Action was taken against the students who harassed Anil in the college in the name of ragging and 15 senior students were suspended from the college, and an FIR has also been registered. Anil's brother has demanded justice.
The deceased Anil was a first year MBBS student, who had taken admission in the college in September but he died a few days later. After the death of Anil, the family members are in a bad condition, who had come to drop him to college on 14th October and lost him only after a month. Anil had scored 550 marks in NEET without coaching. Anil's family members said that Anil was the only student from Jesada, a small village with a population of 5,000 in Dhrangadhra taluka of Surendranagar, who had appeared for NEET.
He was the youngest among three siblings and the only son of 56-year-old farmer Narwar Bhai and 53-year-old Geetaben. Anil's cousin and IT professional Gautam Mathania said that in 10th class, Anil had made up his mind that he wanted to become a doctor. Anil was an excellent student. He did not take any coaching class, yet cleared NEET. He had scored 550 marks in NEET and 90.57 percent marks in GUJCET (Gujarat Common Entrance Test).
Anil's father said that if he had to sell his land to fulfill his son's dreams, he would have sold it. He said, “We talked on 16 November. He was absolutely fine when he got admission in college. Even then all his medical reports were correct. We kept talking to him. A resident doctor of MBBS college called me. He said that Anil has become unconscious and has been admitted to the hospital. When we reached there around 4 in the morning, we came to know that Anil was no more.
