The Cyberabad Police Commissioner would like to remind all students and educational institutions that ragging, in any form, is strictly prohibited both within and outside educational institutions. Under the Telangana Prohibition of Ragging Act, 1997, ragging is a serious and punishable offence. Section 4 of the Act states that any individual who engages in or abets ragging, with the intent or knowledge of causing harm, shall face imprisonment ranging from six months to ten years, depending on the severity of the offence.

Furthermore, any student convicted and imprisoned under Section 4 of the Telangana Prohibition of Ragging Act, 1997, will be dismissed from their educational institution. In cases where the imprisonment exceeds six months, the convicted student will be barred from admission to any other educational institution.

The Cyberabad Police urges the Principals of all educational institutions to take proactive steps in preventing ragging. It is requested that an Anti-Ragging Committee be constituted, comprising the Principal, professors, wardens, parents, and students.

These committees should work in close coordination with student union leaders to foster a ragging-free environment. Additionally, educational institutions are encouraged to display posters highlighting anti-ragging laws at prominent locations within and around the campus.
