Guwahati, Assam – July 15, 2025
A shocking incident of ragging has emerged from Miles Bronson Residential School, a well-known residential institution in Guwahati, exposing a dangerous culture of bullying, institutional negligence, and lack of accountability.
According to credible sources, the incident occurred within the school’s boys’ hostel and involved a group of senior students physically and mentally harassing juniors — all from the Science stream. Among the injured was a student from Arunachal Pradesh, who was rushed to the hospital in serious condition and admitted to the ICU following the assault and now recovering.
Two other students — a Nyishi student and a Khasi boy — were also attacked, with the latter reportedly sustaining serious injuries to his eye.
Shockingly, despite the severity of the incident, no senior school official accompanied the critically injured student to the hospital. Only a nurse and a member of the school’s marketing staff were sent to drop him off. When the victim’s parents arrived, school representatives made them sign a handover document and left the hospital without further assistance or inquiry.
So far, Miles Bronson Residential School has issued no official statement. The silence from the administration, especially in the face of such grave allegations, has sparked public outrage and concern over student safety.
When confronted, Principal Dr. N.K. Dutta allegedly dismissed the matter casually. “Students never complained to us about ragging, so what can I do?” he reportedly told the victim’s father, refusing to accept any accountability.
This is not an isolated case, according to several parents and former students. The school has allegedly long been an epicenter of ragging and bullying, with no strict actions ever taken against repeat offenders. Complaints have routinely been ignored or downplayed, creating an environment of fear, silence, and impunity.
There’s also misinformation circulating online blaming Assamese students exclusively for the attack. It is important to clarify that the perpetrators belong to different states, including Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, and Assam. This is not a community issue but a serious case of institutional failure.
With rising pressure, parents and rights activists are demanding a thorough investigation, medical and emotional support for the victims, and immediate disciplinary measures against the accused. Several are also calling for intervention by the Assam State Commission for Protection of Child Rights and the Education Department to ensure the matter is not hushed up.
As of now, the school remains silent, and no action has been taken against those responsible.
This developing story continues to raise urgent questions about campus safety, the responsibility of educational institutions, and the lives of students placed in their care.
If you are a student facing ragging or bullying, report it to your parents, teachers, or authorities. Support is available — silence only empowers the aggressors.
