Teasing girl students in any manner is an offence and is punishable under the law. Hence, students are advised to refrain from such activities. Otherwise, they would face strict legal action.
As per the directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, ragging is a punishable offence. Any student convicted of an offence of ragging shall be expelled from the college. FIR is to be registered against them, and they shall not be admitted to any other college/educational institution for three years from the date of order of such expulsion. In case of ragging, the student may contact the officers of Anti Ragging Committee immediately.
