One of my relatives was a student of MNNIT Allahabad and had experienced and eye-witnessed ragging in the university. According to him, the culture of ragging was restrained at MNNIT Allahabad after 2002.
The situation started to change after 2000/2001 when a student allegedly died from his injuries due to ragging. The University administration started taking complaints seriously and worked their best to maintain peace at the university.
