Karnataka Medical College Ragging: An MBBS second-year student was allegedly assaulted at a medical college in Vijayapura, Karnataka. The victim, Hameem, is a second-year MBBS student at Al-Ameen Medical College and hails from Anantnag, Jammu & Kashmir. The youngster alleges that he was exposed to violent ragging and threats by senior students from the 2019 batch, which began on Tuesday evening during a cricket match.

Hameem was on the college grounds watching a match between the 2019 and 2022 batches on Tuesday at approximately 4 PM when a senior student told him to stay outside the boundary line. Hameem, observing from a distance, obeyed without objecting.

When he was confronted by a group of seniors, tensions escalated. They asked him to leave and questioned his presence, but Hameem resisted. Then, for their entertainment, a bunch of seniors made him dance and perform songs. That was not the end of the humiliation. He was allegedly pushed into a car by the seniors. They grew much more hostile when he pulled out his phone to record the scene.

A gang of six to eight individuals barged into Hameem's hostel room later that evening. After they attacked him, he was coerced into making a video apology.

"You have four more years here. We are locals-imagine how terrible we can make your life," the attackers warned him.

Additionally, they told him that he would not be permitted to continue playing cricket at the college.

In a statement, the Jammu and Kashmir Students Association's National Convenor, Nasir Khuehami, denounced the attack as a "deeply disturbing" instance of violence and ragging.

"We urge the Karnataka Chief Minister to personally intervene in this matter, ensure swift justice for the victim, and take strict action against those responsible to prevent such incidents from recurring in educational institutions," he said in a social media post.
