The four senior medical students had alleged involvement in assaulting and harassing a first year student of the medical college.
As per the decision of the authorities, fourth year students Stalin Mohapatra and Jyotiprakash Rout have been prohibited to enter the campus for two months. The duo was also asked to leave the hostel and not to attend classes during the period, said Santosh Kumar Mishra, Principal, MKCG Medical College.
