The bank notified the university's finance controller about the hold on Tuesday, causing concern among university officials.\n\nThe issue dates back around 15 years, with employees from three to four departments seeking court action regarding their PF and salary concerns. University representatives have been responding to the court's requests for their position throughout the process.

Additionally, four individuals, including an ex-Crime Branch Inspector and a constable, were recently arrested in a ₹1.2 lakh bribe case in Indore.",
