Sindri (Jharkhand): Three students of BIT Sindri were punished for ragging on Thursday. The authorities have barred three third semester students of production engineering — Ashutosh Tarun, Ashish Sharma and Rohit Barnwal — from entering the institute hostel for an indefinite period.

The three have also been banned from taking part in any academic activity, including attending classes and library, for 15 days. Besides, a fine of Rs 20,000 each has been imposed on them. Also, an FIR has been filed at the local police station.

According to Prof G Kumar, general warden of BIT Sindri, the three students had stopped freshers on way to their hostels and asked them to bow before every senior and walk with their bodies halfbent as a mark of respect.

However, the institute director, the general warden and six hostel superintendents happened to pass that way at that time and saw the act for themselves. They chased the three and caught them.
