Patna, December 17

Professor Mohammad Quddus, Vice Chancellor of Maulana Mazharul Haque Arabic and Persian University (MMHAPU), submitted his papers to Governor Phagu Chauhan today.

He has hogged the headlines for exposing alleged irregularities and corruption in the university last month.

Prof Quddus had written letter to the Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar, last month alleging involvement of officials in Chancellor office in corrupt practices in the university affairs.

Chief minister had met Governor after VC letter came to public domain and recommended investigations against the Vice Chancellor of L N Mithila University, who was earlier VC of Haque Arabic and Persian University. However, till date, inquiry did not start.

In his resignation letter, Professor Quddus said atmosphere was not conducive in the university to function as Vice Chancellor.
