A first year student of the Government Polytechnic College in Nattakom, Kerala has been hospitalised with kidney damage after he was brutally ragged by eight senior students.

The ragging victim has been put on dialysis. There were other victims of ragging too, but he was most seriously injured. Reports say the ragging comprised making juniors drink liquor with harmful powder and then, subjecting them to brutally strenuous exercises like continuous push-ups. They were subjected to at least six hours of ragging.
