Detailed police probe likely into alleged financial irregularities in Physical Education dept. at Calicut varsity
The authorities recently suspended a section clerk in this connection.
The University of Calicut (CU) is set to seek a comprehensive police probe into financial irregularities allegedly occurring within its Department of Physical Education, according to sources. The decision follows a recent suspension of a section clerk, P.J. Arun Kumar, based on an interim report from an internal inquiry conducted by the finance officer.
In response to the investigation, Vice-Chancellor P. Raveendran has directed the Registrar to probe into the alleged lapses on the part of senior officials in detecting financial irregularities promptly and taking appropriate corrective action against them. The internal inquiry was initiated after Raveendran detected suspicious activities during an inspection, leading to the revelation of information related to the alleged irregularities.
In the meantime, the Sports Convocation Day, originally scheduled for August 18, has been postponed. The new date and schedule for the event are yet to be determined.
