Newly-elected Delhi University Students¡¯ Union president, Ankiv Baisoya, has landed into controversy after reports say that he has submitted a?fake university degree to get admission into the DU. He said that he had studied ¡°several types of subjects¡± at Thiruvalluvar University in Tamil Nadu¡¯s Vellore from 2013 to 2016.?
However, he could not recall the names of the subjects and even failed to name any heads of department.
Baisoya is a member of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's student wing, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). 23-year-old Baisoya had obtained admission in DU in Buddhist studies by submitting mark sheets that are from Thiruvalluvar University.
Rival student wing, National Students Union of India (NSUI), circulated the image of the?document, which the controller of examinations has declared a ¡°fake certificate¡±.
ABVP slammed the allegations questioning the authenticity of the letter.
KTS Sarao, the head of Buddhist Studies told The Indian Express: ¡°When there is a complaint raised, that is the time degrees are verified. There is a department in the university, which does this. For now, we have not received any complaint.¡±?
The NSUI has announced that it would file a police complaint against Baisoya for alleged forgery.
