Kerala college ragging case: Chilling video shows boy being stabbed with compass, ‘1,2,3, stab’
Kerala college ragging horror: Video of alleged ragging incident at Kottayam Government Nursing College has surfaced online. The video shows chilling details of the ragging. The victims were reportedly undergoing torture for the past three months.
Kerala ragging horror: Hands tied, weights put on private parts, cloth pins clipped onto nipples, lotion smeared over the body and into the mouth, and compass stabs inflicted—these are the horrifying details that have emerged from the Kerala college ragging case. At least five senior students from Kottayam Government Nursing College have been arrested in connection with the brutal incident. Disturbing viral videos reveal the relentless torture and assault that first-year students endured for the past three months, all under the guise of ragging.
One of the victims, shown in the video, was tied with clothes and stabbed with a geometry box compass multiple times as he screamed for help. His seniors poured lotion into his eyes and mouth to make things worse. Mint couldn't independently verify the authenticity of the video.

The viral video of the brutal torture also showed cloth clips hooked to the victim's nipples as he kept pleading with his seniors for mercy.
The student is seen on a bed with his hands and legs tied to the ends of the bed. One of the people can be seen pouring lotion on his eyes and body while the other man continues pricking him with the pointed end of the compass.
Unaffected by the victim's heart-wrenching scream for help, the students continued to stab him with a compass and make fun of his agony. At one point, another man placed a dumbbell on his private parts.
