Anil Methania was a first year student of Dharpur Medical College. On Saturday night, 11 junior students including Anil were ragged. After standing for hours Anil fell and became unconscious. He was admitted to the hospital, where he himself told the police that he was kept standing for three hours.
Anil's cousin Gaurav said- How can students whose mentality is to hurt others work in a service sector like medicine? What kind of doctors will they become?
The education of such people with criminal mentality should be stopped and life imprisonment should be given. Anil was an intelligent student. He was the first son in our family to do MBBS. He would become a doctor in the future.
