Following the December meeting, the university had maintained that only four agendas – C1 to C4 – were taken up before it was adjourned due to pandemonium in the House. As many as 18 agenda items were listed to be taken up by the varsity’s apex governing body.

At the beginning of the meeting, a group of senators had demanded a statement from former vice-chancellor (V-C) Raj Kumar over allegations of corruption, which had led to a heated exchange between members of the pro V-C and opposing groups.
