The Higher Education Department has removed K. Janardhanam from the post of Registrar (Evaluation) of Bengaluru North University (BNU) after allegations of his involvement in misappropriation of funds
Earlier this week, a police complaint was filed at Halasuru Gate Police station by Bengaluru Central University (BCU) where he was working earlier as the head of Canara Bank School of Management Studies.
He, along with a staff member, are alleged to have deposited student fees to the tune of ₹13,73,500 into their personal accounts. This was money collected for the admission fee to the Master in Business Administration (MBA) Evening college students for the 2018-19 academic year. After an enquiry by the university, Janardhanam and the staff member, Shivashankar Bhairava, admitted that they had misappropriated the funds. The university recovered the money.
Vice-chancellor of BNU, T.D. Kempraju said that they had asked the Finance Officer to take care of his responsibilities until a new Registrar is appointed.
Janardhanam said that several stakeholders were tarnishing his image. “I have got a stay from High Court of Karnataka regarding the proceedings of the enquiry committee. Despite this, a complaint was filed against me by the university. I will file contempt case.”
