Friday, March 30, 2012: An engineering student who has been hospitalized with 60 per cent burns following repeated ragging in the College hostel died yesterday night .While it has been established that he was ragged by his seniors, how the 18-year-old got the burn injuries, continues to be a mystery, because of the boy’s conflicting versions.
Police were probing whether the first year aeronautical engineering student, Ajmal, tried to commit suicide or was he doused with kerosene by someone else.
Ajmal, who hails from Kannur in Kerala, had initially told the police that he wanted to end his life because he was fed up with constant ragging by his seniors in the Chikkaballapur Engineering College. Later, he gave another version that he was pushed into a toilet in the hostel and somebody poured kerosene on him before setting him afire.
