Kolkata: A first year engineering student from a private engineering college in Salt Lake has lodged a complaint at the Electronic Complex police station alleging that he was ragged by senior students of his college.

As he refused to do so, they allegedly punched on his face and beat him up badly. Meanwhile, the police did not divulge the identity of the victim.

The victim also alleged that he had been asked by the accused students to deliver extempore on a vulgar topic without any pause. As the victim failed to do so among these senior students, the accused attacked the victim. He was also asked to carry out various other tasks.
