However, Dr GD Yadav, Proctor of GSVM Medical College denied any ragging menace. He told Jagran, “There was a New Year party on Monday night. After that a quarrel happened between Junior Resident and interns of the surgery department, there is no such thing as ragging. We have talked to the Head of the Surgery, but he is not available right now. However, after investigating the whole matter, strict action would be taken against the culprits.”

The medicos have further added that after the incident, two junior doctors allegedly threatened the medical students over phone stating that they would not let their internship be completed if they complained about this to anyone. Since then the students are terrorized and with their MD/MS exams just around the corner on 6^th January, the students are concerned about their studies. A written complaint has been forwarded to the medical college Principal.

In addition, the medicos have alleged that the resident doctors misbehaved with the female students. They allegedly ask for their mobile numbers forcibly, if resisted, they start humiliating them. When they get their numbers, they allegedly text vulgar messages to female medicos, the students informed the media.

The Navbharat Times adds that the college administration has not given any information about the incident to the police yet.
