Two of seven students of the Kelaniya University who were arrested in connection with a ragging incident have been granted bail, Ada Derana reporter said.

The suspects were released on bail after being produced before the Mahara Magistrate this afternoon (17).

Students, including 4 females and 3 males, were arrested and remanded following a police complaint filed by a new female student who had alleged that she was subjected to severe ragging.

It has been reported that the senior female students had prohibited first year female students from wearing long trousers to the university for a year and that certain students who had ignored this instruction were subject to ragging.
