The governing body of a Delhi University college has initiated inquiry against its principal over alleged financial and administrative irregularities, and directed him to proceed on indefinite leave. However, I S Bakshi, principal, Dyal Singh (Morning) College refuted the charges levelled against him.

He said blatant lies were being spread against him by the college governing body chairman, Amitabh Sinha. He also accused Sinha of flouting rules and ridiculing him in front of others. Meanwhile, Sinha claimed Bakshi nullified the election of Rohan Awana, who was elected as the college union president. In a statement before the governing body members, Awana alleged Bakshi had also threatened to rusticate him.
