In a separate incident, Karyavattom Government College in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, is once again under scrutiny after a first-year biotechnology student filed a formal complaint against seven third-year students. The complainant accused his seniors of physical assault and degrading acts of humiliation, including tying him up and subjecting him to brutal abuse.
The incident reportedly occurred on February 11, 2025, following a clash between senior and junior students. The altercation began after the complainant’s friend was allegedly beaten by seniors, prompting both parties to file police complaints. However, the situation escalated when the senior students allegedly abducted the complainant, tied him up in a room, and continued the assault.
