Prof A K Ghosh, former head of department of aerospace engineering in IIT-Kharagpur has been suspended, for allegedly running a fake institute on campus using the IIT brand name and even doling out degrees.Highly placed sources in IIT-Kharagpur confirmed his suspension. There are also allegations Prof A K Ghosh, former head of department of aerospace engineering in IIT-Kharagpur that he as the Chief Vigilance Officer and chairman JEE, Kharagpur, took order for shredding off JEE papers of 2006. He did this when there were various complaints of irregularities against him. There was also an RTI application seeking details of cutoff and individual marks of students.
RTI's reply before the shredding took place in December 2006 had shown gross discrepancies in the way students were admitted.
The allegation of discrepancy in JEE is already being heard by the Supreme Court.
The HRD ministry had sought the report from Damodar Acharya, director of IIT-Kharagpur, last Friday. Acharya, however, told the ministry officials that the irregularities -- be it JEE or fake institute -- were committed before he took charge.(TOI)
