Ullal, Oct 28, 2026: A 21-year-old BSc student from Kerala has accused senior students of ragging, illegally confining him and his friends, and issuing threats at a college within the limits of Ullal police station.

The complainant, a native of Kollam district, alleged that the first incident occurred on October 2, when two senior students confronted him near a restaurant in Deralakatte while his friends were away at a mosque for prayers.

One of the seniors allegedly threatened to break his limbs and warned him of complaints to the college authorities if he was found outside the campus without wearing his uniform.

In a subsequent incident on October 15, a senior student allegedly called one of the complainant’s friends several times and instructed the group to meet him near the clock tower.

The complainant alleged that he and his friends were then taken to a room in a nearby hotel, confined there and forced to sing songs.

The complaint further stated that on October 22, two persons allegedly took one of his friends away on a motorcycle. After returning to the college, the student reportedly told the complainant that he had been taken to a room and subjected to humiliating acts in the name of ragging.

Ullal police have issued notices to seven students following a report submitted by the college’s anti-ragging committee.
