In yet another case of ragging and torture, reports have emerged about a second-year student of a college in Kerala’s Kozhikode district allegedly brutally beaten up by more than 25 SFI workers on campus.
Amal, the B Sc Chemistry student at the R Sankar Memorial SNDP College in Koyilandy of the district was allegedly attacked by the members, including his classmate and college union chairman. In the attack, he received serious injuries on his head and face.
The victim alleged that the attack was carried out under the leadership of the SFI union chairman. Amal was stopped and beaten up brutally by seniors in front of the college after two of his friends accompanying him fled the spot.
Ironically, the same SFI workers took him to the hospital after the attack telling the hospital authorities that the victim was injured in a bike accident. Later, Amal said that he did not say anything to the doctor out of fear.
After reaching home, as he felt excruciating pain he disclosed the incident to his parents. Later, a complaint was filed by him and his father at the police station and to the college principal. According to the complaint, the incident took place last Friday.
The college authorities confirmed receiving a complaint about the incident on Saturday and will investigate the matter.
Meanwhile, the SFI union denied the allegation of Amal. However, they conceded that they had a bitter altercation.
