DVAC officials question varsity faculty members

Sleuths of the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption today questioned some faculty members at the Bharathiar University days after its Vice-Chancellor A Ganapathy was arrested on bribery charges.

Three DVAC officials questioned some senior faculty members and also the Registrar in-charge as part of investigations into the case, university sources said.

The inquiry lasted about 30 minutes.

The sources said a governing committee would be formed to look after the varsity works and a meeting has been convened here tomorrow to select the panel members.

Ganapathy was arrested on February 3 for allegedly accepting Rs 30 lakh as bribe from an aspirant for the post of an assistant professor.
