Falsely accused of ragging in college. I'm terrified and need urgent advice.
​
Hi everyone.
I'm a college student in West Bengal , India, and I'm in a very stressful situation. A girl has filed a formal complaint against me with my college's anti-ragging committee and the principal, accusing me of ragging her.
The problem is that I never ragged her. I barely even speak to her. The thing is that she is attracted to me romantically and I have rejected her advances . I am not homophobic but I am heterosexual. Despite that, she has made this complaint, and I'm terrified because anti-ragging allegations are taken very seriously.
I'm worried this could affect my reputation and even my future plans, including applying for GRE and CUET-related opportunities. I don't want a false accusation to destroy years of hard work. I have never harmed any living being my whole life let alone ragging a girl .
Has anyone experienced something similar? What should I do immediately? How should I defend myself before the inquiry? What kind of evidence should I collect, and should I seek legal advice?
Any genuine guidance would mean a lot. I'm feeling overwhelmed and don't know what my next step should be. I am the only child of my parents . Like everyone else I also have dreams to go and study in abroad or out of the state . I care about my image and reputation a lot . I am also afraid of losing my friends . They knows that I am innocent but still people don't wanna stay with someone who is associated with such type of disputes.
Thank you for reading.
