A day after a 'cash-for-marks' racket was unearthed at the Anna University, the varsity authorities suspended former controller of examinations and professor G V Uma, and constituted a committee to look into the issue.
The Tamil Nadu Police had yesterday booked 10 professors, including Uma, for allegedly "receiving money" from some engineering students and giving them extra marks during re-evaluation.
Vice-Chancellor M K Surappa told reporters today, "Former Controller of Examinations G V Uma has been suspended and a committee constituted to look into the issue."
The Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) had filed a case against Uma, Tindivanam zonal officers and assistant professors P Vijayakumar and Sivakumar, and seven others on charges of "conspiracy, cheating and forgery."
