two of her seniors have been charged with attempt to murder in addition to ragging.

Aswathi is a first semester nursing student of Al Qamar College of Nursing at Gulbarga near Bangalore and was forced to drink a toilet cleaning liquid by an eight-member gang of seniors.

Currently, she has been admitted in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Kozhikode Medical College Hospital (KMCH) with severe stomach problems.

After the incident took place last month, the girl was initially admitted to a private hospital, but was sent home by college authorities as her condition worsened.

The girl belongs to a financially backward Dalit family and had joined classes after getting a loan of Rs 4 lakhs, according to a report in Mathrubhumi. The girl was reportedly shifted back to KMCH after doctors suggested a six-month long treatment prior to surgery.
