P. Rasheed Ahammed, United Democratic Front-aligned Syndicate member of the University of Calicut, has alleged that outside agencies had forged challan receipts for the payment made for admission of students to the School of Distance Education and duped the university of lakhs of rupees.
He released documents to prove this during the special Syndicate meeting on Tuesday. Mr. Ahammed alleged that the forgery had occurred during the admission process from 2018. He said though people from outside the university were earlier involved in this, later university staff too became part of the process.
The meeting decided to set up an inquiry committee led by M.M. Narayanan to find out if there had been any irregularities and if the university had incurred any losses.
