Video of Andhra Pradesh college

A disturbing video showing senior students from Sri Subbaraya and Narayana College in Andhra Pradesh physically assaulting their juniors under the guise of NCC training has gone viral, leading to public outrage. The incident, which occurred on February 2, 2024, was only reported after the footage surfaced online, prompting police action that has so far resulted in one arrest and charges against six individuals under the Prohibition of Ragging Act. The video depicts juniors being beaten with sticks while seniors laughed and encouraged the violence. The opposition YSR Congress Party has criticized the ruling government, arguing that such incidents reflect on the current law and order situation in the state. In a broader context, the police have called for students to report any ragging incidents promptly to prevent such abuses. Authorities emphasize that ragging is a serious offence that will be dealt with strictly.
