Lucknow:
A first year engineering student of a government-run polytechnic
here was allegedly assaulted by a group of senior students on the
institute's campus after he refused to bow his head before them,
police said Friday.
Navneet Gaur, the student of Hewett Polytechnic, was Thursday
evening roughed up by around 10 of his seniors for not following
their directions.
Gaur, who after the incident preferred leaving his hostel room on
the campus, went to his relatives in Gomti Nagar area here. They
helped him file a ragging complaint with the police against the
senior students.
"The student said the seniors who had their faces covered
intercepted him when he was going to his hostel room. They then
directed him to bow before them and proceed towards the hostel in
the same position," police inspector D.P. Singh told reporters.
"As Gaur objected, the seniors started punching and kicking him.
They even crushed his spectacles and threatened him with dire
consequences if he told the institute's authorities about the
incident," he added.
According to the police, Gaur has identified two of the seniors by
their voice and physical appearance.
"He is not able to tell their names. He identifies them by their
faces. According to him, both the students are in second year of
engineering and assaulted him with their other batchmates," Singh
said.
"We have initiated an enquiry into the matter along with the
institute's officials. Stern action will be taken against all
those who assaulted Gaur," he added.
