Tamil Nadu medical college suspends 7 students over video of sexual harassment
Chennai/IBNS: Seven senior medical students of the Christian Medical College in Tamil Nadu's Vellore have been suspended after an unverified video surfaced on social media suggesting ragging involving sexual harassment.
The college has sought a thorough police investigation and the enquiry is underway.
A 1.52-minute video that could not be verified shows men in their briefs doing push-ups on a lawn, while water is being sprayed on a few others from what looks like a hose.
A few students also appear to attempt to swim in a puddle.
The visuals show two men hugging inappropriately, besides a man hitting and touching another man's genitals.
The video also shows a group of young men is seen rushing from one end to another.
A text appearing over the video accuses senior students of forcing juniors to do these acts.
CMC Vellore appointed a committee to investigate the video based on an anonymous complaint and thereafter suspended all involved.
The police are verifying if the video is genuine or fake.
