THRISSUR: Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) suspended five senior students of the Veterinary College at Mannuthy on Wednesday in connection with the ragging of a first year student of the college.

The victim identified the five senior students on Tuesday. All the five students are absconding and a search for them is on.

The deadline for submission of the report by a 3-member committee appointed by the KAU to inquire into the alleged ragging was over on Tuesday and the committee is yet to submit the report to the KAU.

KAU Vice-Chancellor KR Viswambharan, when contacted, said that the committee could not complete the inquiry on time due to the non-availability of the alleged victim, who is under treatment at his house in Neyyattinkara.
