Seven former students of the B.R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology (NIT) here were Tuesday awarded three years’ imprisonment by a Punjab court for driving a first year student to death due to merciless ragging in 2005.<\/p>\n
Additional District and session Judge S.K. Singla also slapped a fine on the convicts and acquitted four others, including a girl.<\/p>\n
Amit Kumar Gangwar, an industrial engineering student, was subjected to ragging, forcing him to end his life by jumping in front of a train in October 2005, the prosecution said.<\/p>\n
In a suicide note, found from the victim’s hostel room, Amit named his seniors, including a girl, for tormenting him. The students named in the suicide note were later expelled by the NIT authorities.<\/p>\n
Amits father, Triveni Sahai, an armyman, said that his son ended his life due to ragging.<\/p>\n
