Two Resident Doctors Arrested in Surat Over Student's Suicide Linked to Ragging
Two senior resident doctors, Dikshita Ghewaria and Hina Bhut, were arrested in Surat for allegedly ragging first-year medical student Harsh Pandya, who died by suicide in August. Police reported the accused evaded arrest by staying with relatives and filing petitions. The harassment reportedly affected 10 first-year residents, violating institute rules prohibiting seniors from assigning tasks to juniors. Two other accused doctors remain absconding. Charges include wrongful confinement, intentional insult, and violations under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Act.
