Anandi Singh told the court that Verma had made payments for e-books worth 1.5 crore by signing the cheque, even though he had neither signed the pay order nor the agreement.

The special vigilance unit (SVU) had lodged a case against several university officials, including the VC, on corruption charges.

The VC had proceeded on medical leave after his premises were searched two months ago.
