WARANGAL: The anti-ragging committee of Kakatiya Medical College (KMC) will convene a crucial meeting on Tuesday to decide the fate of the senior students for their alleged involvement in ragging and physically assaulting a junior student.
The meeting would be headed by KMC principal Divvela Mohandas, who invited the parents of the seven students to discuss the matter. On September 14, senior students at the KMC brutally attacked a junior student identified as Manohar, who hails from Rajasthan. Manohar sustained severe injuries in the attack and he complained to Mattewada Police Station and the Universities Grant Commission (UGC) about the attack.
