Asking the students to do any act or perform something which students will not do in the ordinary course and which has the effect or causing or generating a sense of shame or embarrassment so as to adversely affect the physique or psyche of a fresher or a junior student is also an act of ragging. It is right as well as an obligation of all the students to fight against the menace of ragging.
