Probably in a first such verdict in Madhya Pradesh, a Court in Bhopal has handed 5-year imprisonment to four women students of a private pharmacy college for abetting suicide of another student in a 2013 ragging case.
In his order on Friday, Additional Sessions Court Judge Amit Ranjan also imposed a fine of Rs 8,000 on each of the convicts- Devanshi Sharma, Kirti Gaur, Deepti Solanki & Nidhi Magre, the prosecution said.
The Judge observed that "With promising dreams, talented & competent children go to universities, colleges & schools. But end their lives due to the torture of ragging. In such circumstances, the dreams of students along with their parents get shattered".
