The National Medical Commission (NMC) has directed medical colleges in Rajasthan to act promptly on ragging complaints and provide mental-health support to affected students after receiving eight complaints from the state in 10 days, The Times of India reported. The commission instructed colleges to protect complainants' confidentiality as far as possible, prevent retaliation, intimidation, isolation or pressure to withdraw complaints, and address immediate safety concerns without waiting for inquiry reports. All the complaints are allegations at this stage; none has been established, and inquiries are pending.

In the case at Government Medical College, Dausa, where a student reported psychological distress and a risk of serious harm, the NMC asked the college to arrange a confidential assessment and support through qualified mental-health professionals, designate a faculty member the student can contact confidentially, and ensure no confrontation with the alleged perpetrators is forced on the complainant, The Times of India reported. The college principal, Dr Rajendra Verma, said the complaint had been received, a meeting of the anti-ragging committee would be called to establish the facts, and those found guilty would be punished.

In a complaint involving SN Medical College, Jodhpur, the NMC sought details on whether anti-ragging helpline boards and grievance committees were functioning and prominently displayed in the college and hostels, as required under its public notice dated March 9, 2026, The Times of India reported.

Medical Dialogues reported seven ragging complaints between October 10 and 18 across seven colleges — in Kota, Jodhpur, Bhilwara, Chittorgarh, Bikaner, Jaipur and Dausa — alleging intimidation, coercion, psychological harassment and humiliating activities targeting first-year MBBS students, and said the NMC Anti-Ragging Cell had sought action-taken reports from the institutions, including within 24 hours in the Dausa case. The United Doctors Front has sought Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma's intervention, urging independent investigations and accountability for deans and principals wherever lapses are established, Medical Dialogues and Careers360 reported.
