According to sources, Mr. Rashid has been accused of forging documents to show that he is a regular college student. The Students’ Federation of India (SFI) had lodged a complaint with the Vice-Chancellor and the Registrar of the varsity highlighting it.

An inquiry was held into the complaint, which was followed by hearings. Mr. Rashid was served the order disqualifying him on Friday ahead of the Senate meeting scheduled for September 12.
