Eleven students of a prestigious medical institute here have been suspended for making derogatory reels on nurses and sharing them on social media.
The incident had taken place on the premises of Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) in Hubballi.
Principal Dr Eshwar Hosamni has issued an order in this regard following the backlash suspending the accused students for a week.
The reels, portraying the nurses in a bad light and humiliating manner, were made without their permission.

The act has triggered outrage among nurse fraternity across the state. In Kolar district hospital, the nurses had staged a protest condemning the video.
