The Delhi University had been asked by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) on May 11 to conduct an enquiry against Satish Kumar, Officer on Special Duty (OSD), Examination, on a complaint.
A similar complaint was also sent to the Ministry of Finance that was further forwarded to MHRD.
Kumar was shortlisted for the post among others.
