Attack on deemed varsity

AHMEDABAD: Volunteers of the National Students Union of India , the students’ wing of the Congress, attacked the Centre for Environment Planning and Technology, a deemed university, to protest against alleged ragging of junior students by their seniors.

According to an NSUI spokesman, some freshers in the architecture section were subjected to ragging, which included even “sexual harassment,” by the senior students of the institution on Monday.

On complaints by some parents, the institution authorities allegedly defended the seniors and refused to acknowledge that there was any ragging.
