New Delhi: The Raghavan Committee set up to probe the sensational Aman Kachroo ragging-death case told the Supreme Court on Monday that alcoholism was one of the main reasons behind Kachroo’s ragging at the Rajendra Prasad College in Himachal Pradesh’s Kangra.
The Committee said Aman's case was not the only incident of ragging and that the college had had a history of such cases.
However, the committee said students of first year did not report these cases because of fear of social boycott. Meanwhile, the Central Government told the court they are in the process of setting up a centralised helpline to combat ragging
Nineteen-year -old Aman Kachroo was a student at the Dr Rajendra Prasad Medical College in Kangra in Himachal Pradesh
On March 8 this year, Kachroo was beaten to death allegedly by three seniors and an intern because he complained about being ragged.
