“After receiving the communication from the CBI, the university suspended Saha in accordance with the rules,” a senior university official told PTI.
The official added that the suspension order was delayed because the university was waiting for formal intimation from the central agency.
“We could not act earlier as we required the official documentation from the CBI,” he explained.
The CBI had registered a First Information Report (FIR) on June 11 against Saha and the supplier of laboratory equipment, identified as Pranjal Sharma. PTI JOP MNB
