The controversial Chandra Mohan Jha (CMJ) University was sealed down in a late night raid on Thursday by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID.)
Sleuths from the CID department swooped on the off-campus building, which also house other offices, and seized the office, including the Chancellor Jha’s office. The Investigating officers also seized some of the materials as part of the investigation.
The CID came into the picture after the Governor’s secretariat filed a criminal case against the university for “issuing PhD degrees” without authorization and also for flouting laid norms.
However, the deputy registrar of CMJ University, Premlal Rai today said that the decision to seal the University was “arbitrary which would be challenged.” He however, did not elaborate what course of action the University would adopt.
“We have opened the University and our head office was not sealed as is being rumored. This was an arbitrary decision to seal the University’s campus at Laitumkhrah, but today we have opened it,” Rai said.
He also said that the University “has not issued any PhD degrees” to students in Assam. “Notifications were issued that PhD degrees would be issued after authenticating the academic credential of the students,” Rai explained when asked.
The Governor in his order has claimed that over 400 students, mostly from Assam, were issued PhD degrees without following procedures.
“We have issued few PhD degrees elsewhere but not in Assam,” Rai claimed.
Meanwhile, the Governor RS Mooshahary has order the all degrees issued by the University must be withdrawn.
Security have been beefed up after another Government vehicle was torched here in the city by miscreants at Lower Lachumiere here this afternoon.
