The victim, Hazrat Ali, told the media that he planned to enrol in a post-graduate Arabic course at Gauhati University in 2020.
He moved to Dr. Banikanta Kakati’s two-story hostel when classes began in 2021. During this time, the student was subjected to inhuman physical and mental torture at the hands of senior and super senior university residents.
He claims that he was harassed by fellow residents even after he became a senior. “The hostel seniors abused me, and I was a victim of daily ragging,” he said.
According to him, one of his ears is now twisted as a result of a severe beating by a senior student named Kaushik Debnath.
He stated that he has been receiving treatment at Gauhati Medical College Hospital for the past nine months.
Hazrat Ali claimed that four resident students, Sanjay Sarkar, Tusharjyoti Baruah, Pavitra Badhai, and Champak Baishya, forced their way into his room, tortured him, and threatened to kill him. He claims that the hospital’s watchmen saved him.
