Dean's son among 15 AIIMS Mangalagiri students suspended for ragging

Time of India01-07-2025
Vijayawada: Fifteen students, including the son of the dean (academics) of AIIMS Mangalagiri, were suspended following allegations of ragging a first year MBBS student. The AIIMS management suspended the students on June 24 after the victim formally lodged a complaint via email on June 23.
The incident, however, came to light on Tuesday.
According to AIIMS sources, the suspended students allegedly ragged a junior student at the main UG hostel building on the college premises on June 22. The accused belonged to different academic groups, including some PG students. "After the incident, the victim inflicted a minor cut on his hand. He was admitted to the college hospital on June 23 and discharged within an hour after receiving treatment," said M Neha from the AIIMS media cell and protocol division.
She added that upon receiving a complaint from the victim, the college management informed local police. The dean (academics) and college anti-ragging committee chairman Dr Srimanta Kumar Dash stepped down as the anti-ragging committee head to "ensure a fair and transparent probe into the alleged ragging episode," Neha said, adding that Dr Dash was replaced by an assistant professor as the anti-ragging committee chairman.

The committee consists of representatives from students and parents' council, along with a local police representative, who are currently probing the incident.
"Strict action will be taken against the students if they are found guilty in the probe report," the AIIMS official said, adding that the anti-ragging committee is expected to submit their probe report on Wednesday.

Bengaluru blast: 8-year-old boy killed, 9 injured in suspected LPG leak at Wilson Garden; 13 house damaged

BENGALURU: A suspected liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) leak triggered a powerful explosion in Chinayanapalya, Wilson Garden, here on Friday, killing an eight-year-old boy and injuring nine others. The blast damaged at least a dozen houses in the area, leaving nearly 60 residents homeless. The victim, A Mubarak, was the second child of Amanulla and Rabina, whose house stood adjacent to that of Aiyappan and Kasturamma (Kasturi), where the blast is believed to have originated. According to the victim's cousin, he died after the house collapsed in the impact of the explosion and the debris came crashing on him.

Though the real reason behind the explosion, which occurred around 8 am, is yet to be ascertained, authorities believe it might have occurred after someone had turned on a gas stove or some electrical appliance. The blast was so powerful that it almost flattened the houses of Kasturi and Mubarak, and damaged several others in the cheek-by-jowl residential block. Two fire tenders were rushed to the spot after a distress call was received at 8.45 am. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like It's Affordable and Actually Works Undo Kasturi and her eightyear-old daughter Kial are undergoing treatment for serious burn injuries at Victoria Hospital. The other injured residents are Sarasamma (55), Tabrina Bhanu (35), Fatima (8), Subramani (62), Sheik Nazibulla (37), Pramila (38), and Rajesh (40). Many of the occupants of the affected houses are daily wage earners, while some run small businesses. Chief minister Siddaramaiah, who visited the spot along with local MLA and transport minister Ramalinga Reddy, said preliminary reports from the police and BBMP pointed to a gas leak-triggered explosion. 'The bereaved family will receive Rs 5 lakh compensation. BBMP will bear the hospital expenses and reconstruct the damaged houses,' the CM said, adding that at least 13 houses were affected. BBMP chief commissioner Maheshwar Rao said the final tally of the number of houses damaged was yet to be determined. 'Close to 60 people may need temporary shelter. We will arrange accommodation at Jain Bhavan,' he said. City police commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh said the exact cause would be confirmed only after a forensic examination. 'Prima facie, it appears to be a gas leak-related fireball explosion,' he added. The house next to Kasturi's belonged to Mubarak's parents. 'His father, Amanullah, had stepped out for prayers, while his mother, Sabrina, was out washing clothes. Mubarak, who was asleep, and his sister were inside. While the sister sustained injuries, Mubarak died as the debris crushed the lower part of his body,' recalled the victim's cousin Tasmiya. While Kasturi's family was new to the locality, Mubarak's family had been living there for years, she said. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

‘Extortion': Court slaps 10-lakh fine on RWA secretary

New Delhi: Pointing out that the facts are "shocking and alarming", Delhi High Court has slapped a cost of Rs 10 lakh on a purported general secretary of an RWA for allegedly extorting money from property owners against whom he filed petitions alleging illegal construction. In a rare move, the court also referred the case of the lawyer representing the RWA office holder, to the Bar Council of Delhi to assess violations of rules and regulations. "These facts are alarming and shocking, which disclose the deplorable conduct of the petitioner in filing cases for extorting money from people by misusing and abusing the process of this court. On the one hand, the court has to deal with cases of unauthorised constructions strictly with an iron hand; at the same time, the court has to ensure that the process of the court is not misused by anyone in order to extort money from the persons undertaking such construction. A proceeding before a court is a solemn process for furthering the cause of justice, and not for aiding unlawful objectives of certain individuals," Justice Mini Pushkarna noted in a recent order.

He was represented by advocate Babu Lal Gupta, and both also run an unregistered NGO, Green Gold Earth of World. "These petitions are being filed by purported NGOs for clearly oblique motives," the court observed. "This is a case of suppression of material facts, with the NGO not even being registered."The court held that both Lodhi and Gupta were involved in a scheme under the guise of the RWA and the NGO, and that their actions amounted to impersonation and abuse of judicial process. In light of Gupta's involvement, the court directed the Bar Council of Delhi to examine his conduct and determine if it violated professional standards.
