NSUI vandalises CEPT for inaction against ‘ragging’

Express News Service

Ahmedabad, August 14: Close on the heels of allegations of CEPT University glossing over reports of ragging on campus, members of National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) on Tuesday barged into the university with sticks and iron rods and vandalised part of the university alleging university’s inaction against students who ragged 6 First Year students. Meanwhile, the university has formed a fact-finding committee to look into the ragging issue.

According to details, almost 60 NSUI members stormed into the university with sticks and rods in the presence of local guards and broke glasses and furniture in buildings on campus. “We have evidence to prove that some students were being ragged, but authorities are sheltering the culprits. We had given them a day’s ultimatum to take action which they failed to do, therefore, we resorted to violence,’’ said NSUI city president Vinay Tomar.

University authorities later filed a complaint with the Navrangpura Police Station stating unidentified students stormed into the campus and vandalised property. NSUI, on the other hand, said that it would again resort to violence if the issue was not resolved in a couple of days.

Meanwhile, university authorities have set up a committee to look into the allegations. University Dean CN Ray said, “As per the dfirector’s direction we have formed a fact-finding committee to punish the culprits. The findings of the committee will be out in a week’s time.”
