Panel to probe ‘fake docu’ charges against MLSU VC

Jaipur: The state government on Friday told the assembly that a committee will be formed to look into the Opposition's charge that Udaipur’s Mohanlal Sukhadia University (MLSU) vice-chancellor Amarika Singh used “fake” documents to get the job.

Higher education minister Rajendra Singh Yadav told the House that an FIR may be registered in the case if necessary.

During the Zero Hour, leader of Opposition Gulab Chand Kataria said that the documents Amarika Singh gave to the selection committee for his appointment as the vice-chancellor are “fake”.

He said there were several discrepancies in the documents submitted by the current vice-chancellor on his qualification and experience making him eligible for selection to the post.

He also showed a copy of a certificate of work submitted by the VC, which was from an institution from Lucknow, and said it was on plain paper with no official logo.

An FSL investigation of the documents is required to verify the authenticity of the documents, he added.

Speaking on a Calling Attention Motion, Kataria also said the VC deliberately delays sending replies to questions asked in the assembly.

Higher education minister Yadav said it was a serious matter and a committee will be formed to examine it.

“If required, an FIR will also be registered,” he said.
