Being a second-year student from Kolkata at IHM Guwahati, I faced a terrible situation. During dinner, a senior from the local area slapped and beat me up, accusing me of taking more food. The next day, I considered filing a police complaint but was hesitant because a friend posted something inappropriate on Facebook mentioning my name. To protect him, I couldn’t go ahead. The warden, seemingly siding with the senior, then harassed me, accusing me of smoking and using drugs inside my room. He completely ignored the assault and pressured me to write a letter stating I’d face punishment for any misconduct in the hostel. When I refused and said I’d talk to the principal, the warden shifted the blame and demanded a meeting with my father. He threatened to expel me if I reported anything again, completely avoiding the issue of my harassment. I’m seeking advice on how to handle this situation, where seniors and teachers seem to be acting unjustly.

You should file a complaint with the Institute’s Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) or the National Commission for Women (NCW). These bodies are mandated to address harassment and discrimination, and can help you navigate this complex situation. Seek support from trusted friends, family, or student organizations to ensure you are not alone.
