Bihar professor, who sought to return entire salary of over ₹23 lakh, apologises for conduct

The Bihar Assistant Professor of Hindi, who earlier had sought to return his salary of over ₹23 lakh for his teaching service for 33 months after listening to his “conscience”, now has tendered an apology to the university registrar saying he “voluntarily retract all his written and oral statements”.

“I was hurt as my request for transfer six times was not taken up. I was unable to control my emotion and offered the cheque for my entire salary amount. But, later, after talking to some seniors I realised I should not have done so. One needs to behave as per the rules and regulations of the University and college system.

“I’ll try my best not to take any step guided by emotion in future. I voluntarily retract all my written and oral statements”, said the Hindi assistant professor of Nitishwar college under Babasaheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar Bihar University (BRABU) in Muzaffarpur district, Lallan Kumar in his letter of apology.
