The Delhi Police on Tuesday registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Akhil Bhartiya Vidhyarthi Parishad's (ABVP) ex-Delhi University Student Union (DUSU) president Ankiv Baisoya, for allegedly furnishing a fake degree to get admission in the Delhi University.
The complaint was filed by KTS Sarao, the head of the Buddhist Studies department in which Baisoya had appeared in the entrance examination conducted nationally by the University for admission in the masters course.
According to complaint, after qualifying in this examination, Baisoya took admission in MA Buddhist Studies, Part I, and submitted six mark sheets of six semesters of Bachelor of Arts degree from Thiruvalluvar University.
"The basic qualification for admission to MA (Buddhist Studies) is a bachelor's degree from any recognised university," Sarao said in the complaint. According to the complaint, in a written response to a request from Sarao for verification of these marksheets, the controller of examinations of Thiruvalluvar University has said that each of these marksheets submitted by Baisoya is not genuine.
"On the basis of verification report received from the Controller of Examinations Thiruvalluvar University, admission of Baisoya was cancelled on November 14," said Sarao in his complaint.
Baisoya, who was elected the DUSU president in September, resigned from his post on November 15 after ABVP reportedly asked him to do so. He has also been suspended from the students' outfit till an inquiry into the allegations is complete.
