The regional office of the All India Council for Technical Education has sought details of the appointment order issued to a faculty in Vivekanandha College of Engineering for Women and its bank statement of accounts.
The council has called for “the bank statement of accounts of the college/Trust showing debit entry for paying salary to faculty members”.
The letter is a follow up to the death of a faculty S. Ravi, an assistant professor, who allegedly committed suicide in March 2020 as he had been in debt and the college had not paid him his due salary. The case was taken up by the National Human Rights Commission and the Department of Higher Education had also instituted an inquiry into the issue.
