The Deccan police in Pune, Maharashtra, have registered a First Information Report (FIR) against five second-year students of ILS Law College for alleged ragging, following a complaint from a fellow student. The FIR was filed on April 25, 2024, after the complainant, a second-year LLB student, reported sustained mental harassment and intimidation at the college hostel. The allegations include being locked in his room, verbal abuse, and social isolation, which the complainant claims adversely affected his academic performance. Although the college conducted an internal inquiry that found no evidence of ragging, the complainant pursued the matter through the University Grants Commission (UGC) anti-ragging mechanism, leading to police involvement. The college's principal-in-charge, Deepa Paturkar, stated that the institution acted in accordance with UGC guidelines and submitted a detailed report. The investigation is ongoing, and the complainant has also called for accountability from college authorities for their handling of the situation.
