CCTV footage revealing a physical assault and psychological torture has prompted an official police complaint after hostel authorities failed to address initial grievances.

Allegations of Abuse at Madhav Boys Hostel
A student at Madhav Boys Hostel has reported severe physical abuse, claiming that areas without CCTV were used for the assaults. The victim faced intense threats that deterred him from speaking out earlier. This ongoing harassment has taken a toll on his mental and physical health, leading his family to seek a thorough medical evaluation and pursue legal action.
In response to these allegations, the hostel’s administrator dismissed the claims as false, stating that the student had a history of behavioral issues and was not subjected to forced ragging.
