Ragging shatters dreams of engineering student

Scared of the memories of the horrible torture unleashed by a gang of Malayali senior students during a train journey in Tamil Nadu, Geevarghese John has given up his dreams of becoming a B Tech degree holder.
 Geevarghese, who was a fourth semester student of Jnanamani Engineering College, Salem, had hit headlines after he was subjected to brutal torture on board a train during a journey home last January.
 A native of Ernakulam district, Geevarghese has now joined a college at Piravom for BSc Electronics course.
 According to his relatives, Geevarghese had faced threats from senior students from initiating legal action against the miscreants.
 Though he returned to the college in Salem after recovery from injuries, friends of the accused in the case allegedly threatened him and insisted to compromise the case.
 Geevarghese and his friend Arun were attacked by a group of senior students in the general compartment of Chennai Mail soon after train left Salem station.
