The committee has submitted its inquiry report to the Principal of Doon Medical College , Dr. Geeta Jain. Dr. Jain said that Doon Medical College is a ragging-free campus and ragging will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
The state's Medical and Medical Education Minister, Dhan Singh Rawat, termed the incident as extremely unfortunate and said that he has instructed the college principal to investigate the incident and take such strict action that it sets an example for the future.
He said that incidents of ragging in educational institutions raise questions about institutional discipline and order, which will not be accepted.
