Tripura Central University Vice Chancellor Vijaykumar Laxmikantrao Dharurkar resigned on Saturday, sources said, a day after a sting operation by a local television channel here showed him accepting a bribe from a contractor in Kolkata.
"We could document that he took Rs 5,80,000 from a contractor, Surendra Sethia, representative of a printing firm, in Kolkata," said Sebak Bhattacharya, the managing director and proprietor of TV channel News Vanguard.
"The VC was demanding 10 per cent of the printing work (give to the firm) as cut money. From the footage, it is clear he was regularly taking 10pc as cut money from all kinds of work in the Tripura Central university."
