The horrific ragging incident which has sent shockwaves across the state was reported on Tuesday afternoon.
As per inputs, when the 24 boarders went for lunch at around 2 pm after their school was over, a group of 5 students of 11th standard allegedly tortured them physically and mentally.
Principal of the school, Rajiv Ranjan said that all 5 accused students have been suspended for their heinous acts as per the decision of a disciplinary committee and they will be handed over to their parents today.
Moreover, a meeting of the school’s Parent Teacher Council (PTC) has been convened today for further action on the issue, said Rajiv Ranjan.
The injured students have been given preliminary treatment.
