Soon after a house surgeon was held at the Thrissur Government Medical College with drugs, shocking details have emerged on the usage of drugs by medical college. As per reports, police have received crucial information from the accused.
Following the incident, the city shadow police had been carrying out checks at the medical college and its vicinity for several days. Their attempt was to know who was peddling drugs and who were all using it. The police also deployed ‘spies’ at the hostels.
The crackdown followed alerts to City Police Commissioner R Aditya that drug use was rampant in and around the medical college. The police were even urged by some to take action so that the lives and career of medical students are not jeopardised.
The revelation that medical students, who are well aware of the effects of drug abuse were using drugs, stunned even the police. The police team rushed into the hostel by 3am. They found Kozhikode native Aquil Mohammed Hussain, a house surgeon, in the room, who revealed at least 15 college-mates were regularly using drugs and also gave five names.
The police have directed to regulate the entry of unknown people at the hostel. As per reports, more checks will be conducted in the coming days.
