Missing Medical Student: Bullying Allegations Surface
15 Nov
Summary
- Medical student vanished on July 18 after leaving a friend's residence.
- Family alleges bullying and discrimination drove the student to flee.
- Police investigation continues with no concrete evidence found.
The anxious wait for Tanmay Wange's parents continued past Diwali, as their son, a first-year student at BJ Medical College, remained missing for over four months. Tanmay vanished on July 18 after leaving a friend's home in Kharadi. His family suspects relentless bullying and discrimination by batchmates, who allegedly targeted him for his rural background, may have driven him to flee.
Despite a police complaint and extensive inquiries with friends, family, and college faculty, investigators have not yet uncovered evidence of harassment. Tanmay was last seen leaving his friend's residence in Kharadi. Investigations involved tracing his mobile phone, analyzing social media, and reviewing CCTV footage, which led to a potential sighting on a train towards Solapur, but a lack of operational cameras at Daund railway station hampered the lead.
BJ Medical College authorities stated their full cooperation with the police and emphasized their zero-tolerance policy towards ragging and bullying, supported by a robust complaint redressal system. As the search persists, Tanmay's parents hold onto the hope that vital information will surface to bring their son home.
