Three senior resident doctors from the orthopaedic department at B J Government Medical College (BJMC) and Sassoon General Hospital in Pune have been suspended for allegedly ragging four junior doctors. The suspension followed a complaint filed by the parents of one of the junior doctors, citing verbal abuse by the seniors. An anti-ragging committee, comprising 15 members, was promptly formed to investigate the matter.
The accused are second-year postgraduate students, while the victims are first-year postgraduate students in the same department. Reports suggest that the seniors used harsh and intimidating language, and in some instances, resorted to physical harassment. One junior doctor was allegedly slapped by a senior, and the harassment had been ongoing for the past two months in the college hostel.
Dr. Eknath Pawar, the dean of BJMC, emphasized that the institution takes such incidents seriously and will not tolerate ragging on campus. He stated that a thorough investigation is underway, including inquiries with the department head and hostel in-charge, to gather documentary evidence related to the complaint.
The college authorities have assured that appropriate action will be taken based on the findings of the investigation. The incident has raised concerns about the safety and well-being of junior doctors in medical institutions, highlighting the need for strict enforcement of anti-ragging measures.

A new English-language documentary, “Ayurveda – The Double Helix of Life,” is set to premiere on June 11 in New Delhi, with a special screening at the Film Division Theatre. The film is directed by national award–winner Vinod Mankara and produced by Dr. A V Anoop under the A V A Productions banner, in collaboration with the Ayurvedic Medicine Manufacturers Organisation of India.
Clocking in at around 90 minutes, the docu‑film explores how Ayurveda can complement modern medicine, especially in treating conditions like infertility, renal stones, diabetic neuropathy, and even Parkinson’s disease in Germany. It moves from traditional medicine-making practices to recent clinical breakthroughs such as rejuvenating skin treatments and slow-release pharmaceutical pads. Mankara, who also scripted the film, emphasises that the goal is to present Ayurveda as a scientifically valid system, not merely ancient tradition.
Featuring commentary from 52 experts—including doctors, scientists, and officials from the World Health Organization—the documentary aims to counter misinformation and highlight ongoing research in integrative medicine. Officials expected at the premiere include Minister of State for Ayush and Health Prataprao Jadhav and Ayush Secretary Rajesh Kotecha. The film will be shown in multiple countries, aiming to raise global awareness of Ayurveda’s scientific potential.
