Digital Desk: The main accused in the Dibrugarh ragging case, Rahul Chetry, who surrendered today at the Lekhapani Police Station in the Tinsukia district, claimed that he is innocent.
Chetry had been absconding since the ragging incident at Dibrugarh University was reported on November 27.
In the course of events, Anand Sharma, an M.Com student at Dibrugarh University, jumped from the second floor of the hostel building where he was staying to avoid alleged ragging by his seniors. Sharma, who sustained multiple fractures, underwent a critical surgery at Dibrugarh. The event sparked outrage, prompting Assam's Chief Minister to order officials to take strict action against illegal boarders at the state's educational institutions' hostels. He also directed the police to investigate the university's mistakes.
Dibrugarh University has already expelled 18 students for their suspected involvement in the ragging incident.
Following the filing of a FIR, police arrested four suspects and detained another student who was also involved in the incident.
Following the incident, a number of students staged a sit-in protest in front of the university, calling for justice and harsh punishment against the culprits.
Earlier, Rahul Chetry, a third-semester LLB student at J.B. Law College, was expelled by the law college's governing body.
Meanwhile, Chetry stated in his defence that he was framed in the unfortunate incident and that he is innocent.
