Indore (Madhya Pradesh): More than 25 inmates of Ravindra Nath Tagore Hostel, a boarding facility of Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV), gave their statements before the anti-ragging committee which started probing into a ragging complaint on Tuesday.
While some of the complainants said that they were given different tasks during the event Prayas held in March, some went on to claim that they were being given orders to bring water and other materials by senior hostellers.
