Three engineering students were today arrested for allegedly beating up and ragging a 21-year-old pharmacy student, who attempted suicide after the incident here, police said.
Y Suresh Babu, M Bhanu Prakash and M Hemanth, all third-year engineering students at a private institute in Dundigal, were absconding after the incident on Friday.
The trio allegedly assaulted one Shravan Kumar, who is pursuing pharmacy course at the same institute, during a ragging session, they said.
Reportedly depressed over the harassment and assault, Kumar consumed some tablets in a bid to end his life. He was admitted to a hospital, where his health condition is improving, police said.
Police have booked the trio, aged between 19 and 20, under relevant sections of Andhra Pradesh Prohibition of Ragging Act and Indian Penal Code.
