President Ram Nath Kovind has suspended Delhi University’s Vice Chancellor Yogesh Tyagi, the union education ministry said on Wednesday, amid a major row over appointments that spawned an ugly power tussle.
The education ministry had asked the President to allow an inquiry against Yogesh Tyagi after a dispute over appointments to the university last week. On Tuesday night, the President allowed the inquiry against the vice chancellor who was accused of “misconduct” and “dereliction of duty” by the ministry.
“The President of India in his capacity as Visitor of the University, on consideration of facts and material available on record, has ordered to conduct an inquiry into the allegations of dereliction of duties and lack of commitment and devotion to duty against him,” a government statement said.
