India Jul 31, 2026

Tanmay Wange, a first-year MBBS student at BJ Medical College, Pune, has been missing for two weeks.

His father believes Tanmay left the hostel because seniors kept ragging him and making fun of his rural background.

The complaint names a group of students, including two, as those responsible.

CCTV footage shows Tanmay boarding a train to Solapur on July 18; his phone went off soon after and hasn't been active since July 23.

The college has set up a six-member committee to look into the ragging claims but hasn't updated the family yet.

Meanwhile, Tanmay's mother is hospitalized from stress, and police are still searching for him.

The college has faced similar ragging issues before, raising concerns about student safety.
