MBA Student Thrashed, Whipped With Belt By College Mates For Refusing Alcohol

After trying and failing to impose their will on a fellow student, some students from a private university in Himachal Pradesh kept him confined to a room for the entire night, thrashed him and whipped him with a belt. His crime? The students wanted him to drink alcohol and he refused. 

The assault on the student was caught on camera and five of his college mates, most of whom are younger than him, have been arrested. 

According to the first information report (FIR) filed in the case, 22-year-old Rajat Kumar, a first-year MBA student at Bahra University in Himachal Pradesh’s Solan, who lived in the university hostel, was asked by two of his fellow students to accompany them to another room on Saturday.
