Consequently, a meeting of the disciplinary committee was held on January 9 in which the decision was taken. Earlier in September 2021, as many as 12 students were rusticated from the varsity, including two for a couple of years and 10 others for one year for their involvement in the ragging of a third-year BTech student of the university.
However, later in January 2022, the varsity reduced the punishment of 10 students from one year to six months, as stated in a report by The New Indian Express.
