SEVEN RAJARATA VARSITY MEDICOS SUSPENDED

Seven students in the medical faculty of the Rajarata University alleged to have been involved in ragging of new students have been suspended from attending classes on a decision taken by the Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor K.A. Nandasena yesterday.
Professor Nandasena said that after the students were identified as having been involved in ragging the new students of 2011 the vice chancellor had taken this decision to suspend them from attending classes.
Accordingly suspension from classes and other academic activities was imposed on the students with effect from yesterday. Their right to enter the medical faculty premises had also been suspended.
The vice chancellor has arranged to conduct a special inquiry into the incident and follow subsequent disciplinary procedures.
Those subjected to the suspension order were second year students with a female student among them, according to the sources.
Prof. Nandasena said these measures had been taken as ragging in universities had been banned by the government and stern disciplinary action would be taken against them after holding an investigation.
