The NSUI State general secretary Monu Saxena has said they will bring the fact to the chancellor Dr Balram Jakhar’s notice and demand removal of the university Vice-Chancellor Dr Kamlakar Singh. The NSUI has warned that if the corruption was not checked, it will launch a statewide agitation.

The NSUI has alleged that the Vice-Chancellor is involved in corruption related to construction work, purchase of material, and appointments and deputations.
