IIT-Kharagpur professor A K Ghosh behind fake institute gets full November salary

NEW DELHI: On Monday night, the police has arrested A K Ghosh, the suspended professor of aerospace of IIT-Kharagpur.

In-charge of Hijli, J Chattoraj, Top police station on the campus, confirmed the arrest to TOI.

Chattoraj said, “Due to our continuous raid, Ghosh had to surrender on Monday night,”.

The IIT-Kharagpur administration has paid him full salary for November despite clear rules that salary is halved during suspension, but suspension has meant little to A K Ghosh.

It will also look into how other faculty members and former directors were involved with IEE(I).

The panel, which has to submit its report within four weeks, might Call K L Chopra and S K Dube- former IIT-Kharagpur directors. However, within IIT-Kharagpur many faculty members are voicing concern that the HRD probe panel should not have members from the IIT fraternity due to obvious conflict of interest.
