Ragging not behind suicide pact in SAI, says report

NEW DELHI: The report of Sports Authority of India (SAI) director Sreenivas ruled out ragging in the girl athletes’ suicide pact case in Alappuzha. In the incident, one girl had died and the other three are still undergoing treatment in a hospital in the district. The report also said the girls had not suffered any mental harassment in the hostel.

Some senior students of the hostel advised the girls and informed the warden after some unpleasant deeds were noticed from the girls’ side in connection with some issues. The warden too advised them. As the girls were from financially backward communities, they feared that they may be sacked from here and this may be the reason for them to take the extreme step.
