Anita Sharma, an 18-year old B Pharm second-year student at RKDF Institute of Pharmacy, had committed suicide by hanging at her residence in 2013.
In her suicide note, she had accused the girls in question of subjecting her to torture in the name of ragging ever since she joined the college, so much so that she was even ‘forced her to write their mid-semester copies.’ She claimed that when she tried to inform the authorities about the ragging, she was advised to ‘obey her seniors and live with it’.In her suicide note, she wrote, “Only I know how I have suffered the ragging of these four girls.”
It’s mandatory for students to give an undertaking against ragging at the time of admission.
