Girls students of the Patna Medical College finally took up cudgels against the growing obscenity in the campus in the name of ragging and beat up two male students on Friday last week and another one on Saturday.
Later, the girls gheraoed the nearby Pirbahore police station alleging that college officials were not cooperating with them.
They also lodged an FIR against the three male students.
It all started with the pasting of some obscene posters and pictures in the college canteen.
Some junior female students took offence and beat up two boys.
The following day, another boy was thrashed with chappals and sandals.
The boys, who refused to be identified, claimed that they had been wrongly targeted as the posters and photos had been pasted by some outsiders.
However, the girls insisted that outsiders would not dare put up such obscene posters in the college canteen.
Before the situation could get out of hand, the college authorities contemplated suspending classes and evacuating the hostels.
However, the situation was sorted out peacefully among the students.
Though the thrashing of the male students was projected as a junior-senior clash, it could not have been possible without the backing of the senior female students.
The seniors only used their juniors to check the growing obscenity on the campus.
