The seven senior students of the Kelaniya University, who were arrested by the Kiribathgoda police yesterday for allegedly ragging first year students, were remanded by the Mahara Magistrate’s Court today.

One first year female student had been subjected to severe ragging by the five senior students and she was abused in obscene language for coming to the university wearing a pair of jeans.

Ragging should be completely stopped. I can well remember one student died due to this around 15years before.may be the present day students do not know that incident

This raging business needs to be banned altogether. It is found only in Sri Lankan universities that tantamount to a crime.
