Names of professors Atul Kumar Johri and Ashwani Kumar Mohapatra was also mentioned in the complaint. However, Mohapatra, rejected the allegations as “baseless”. “It is unethical and illegal to video-record the AC meeting. The allegations of students are baseless. I tried to stop them from taking my pictures as they were taking it every time when I stood up to speak.” “The students were trying to obstruct the meeting. So we demanded the VC take disciplinary action against the students, or I will stay away from attending the meetings,” he told PTI. The 143rd academic council meeting was convened on Friday, after it was adjourned on 9 May, amid opposition from wide circles for holding the meeting during summer vacations.
