A sub-committee of the Mahatma Gandhi University here that probed charges of malpractices against Inspector General of Police T J Jose has found that he tried to copy during the LLM examination held in May this year.
The seven-member committee submitted its report to the MGU Pro-Vice Chancellor Sheena Shukoor today.

A decision based on the report would be taken by the next meeting of the syndicate, university sources said.

The university can even debar Jose from writing the examination for three years.
Jose was found allegedly trying to copy during an LLM examination held at the St Paul's College, Kalamassery on May 4 following which he was asked to leave the examination centre by the invigilator.
