DHARAMSHALA: Himachal Pradesh Police have booked a college professor and three women students on charges of ragging to death a 19-year-old woman student of the local Government Degree College in Kangra district.

The victim, Pallavi, was a second-year student of the college.

In a complaint to the police, her father Vikram Kumar alleged that on September 18 last year, three students -- Harshita, Aakriti and Komolika -- of the college had allegedly intimidated and assaulted his daughter.

He accused Professor Ashok Kumar of indulging in obscene acts with the victim.

He said the complaint could not be lodged earlier as his daughter was traumatised and had to be hospitalised.
