Similar incidents of ragging have been reported from the same medical college in the past. In this case, some students were suspended for seven days. The current incident shows that the students here are not disciplined even after that.

Editorial viewpoint

In the future, medical students will become doctors and provide medical services to the public. However, this incident illustrates what values they have been inculcated with. A culture-based education is what we need, not just a bookish one.
