The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has indicted the Aligarh Muslim University Vice-Chancellor P K Abdul Azis of having committed financial impropriety and knowingly claimed allowances for which he was not entitled.
In its interim report, submitted to Union Human Resources Development Ministry, the CBI has said that the Vice-Chancellor whose tenure ends on January 17 "committed financial impropriety and claimed TA on first joining, Home Town Concession when it was very well knowledge that he was not entitled for the same."
Prof Azis had submitted bills worth Rs 81,654 for the travel of him and his family from Cochin to New Delhi and of Rs 93,053 for travel of his family from New Delhi to Thiruvananthapuram.
As per the existing AMU rules he was allegedly not entitled for claim of Rs 93,053, the CBI said in its report.
It has found payment of personal Income Tax worth Rs 82,356 of the Vice-Chancellor and Rs 44,315 of V K Abdul Jaleel, Registrar from the University funds and their recovery in 11 interest-free monthly instalments was "irregular and extension of undue favour to himself."
A final view on these findings will be taken by the CBI along with the findings of the other allegations once the enquiry on all allegations is completed, the report said.
"I had filed the complaint against him. We demand that inquiry should be conducted into his past background as well. We will request the President as well as the HRD Ministry to take cognisance of this report," Member of the University Court and former MP, Wasim Ahmed said.
The CBI was asked by the HRD Ministry to probe nearly 40 allegations, of which it is probing 24 while it returned 16 to the University because they were administrative in nature, the sources said.
The CBI probed allegations related to travel concession for family, income tax payment from University funds and purchase of luxury cars.
