CBI has registered a case of alleged graft against former Vice-Chancellor of Indira Gandhi National Open University for permitting two varsities to run distance learning courses in violation of norms.
Soon after registering the case against Rajshekharan Pillai, the agency on Friday carried out searches at his premises in Trivandrum and Kottayam.
The CBI has alleged that Pillai during his tenure as VC of IGNOU allowed Sikkim Manipal University and Punjab Technical University to run distance learning courses in violation of laid down procedures, sources said.
They said Mr Pillai has been booked under charges of Prevention of Corruption Act, abuse of official position and criminal conspiracy.

Our PM and Sonia keep quiet when Rajas, Kalmadis, Chavans,Marans and Rajasekhar Raddys were looting the country and its scarcs resources for political survival. Again just recently they signed non-disclosure agreement with Pawar to overlook their corrupt deeds in Maharashra and Civil aviation scandals. This showed the way that other minions in all the sectors can go ahead and loot whatever they can.
I think it is very shameful day for Ignou as well as former Vice Chanceller V.N.Rajshekharan Pillai.
Now the future of students pursuing courses in SMU hangs in limbo for no fault of their’s.Who will take care of them??/
