SHILLONG, July 3 NNN : Outgoing Meghalaya governor RS Mooshahary said that the absconding tainted CMJ University chancellor CM Jha must be traced and arrested. Even as the state CID has failed to arrest the Jha, the governor told reporters on Tuesday, “He (Jha) should have been caught that is what I feel.”
The CID had arrested four CMJ University officials that include its registrar, Mrinal Kanti Deb, deputy registrar Premlal Rai and two other university officials but failed to arrest Jha who is responsible for fraud that led to sealing off the institute.
While he said that the case may be complicated, Mooshahary nonetheless said, “The enormity of the case is so much that with limited resources that the state police have they are facing some problems but they are doing their best.”
Now that Mooshahary’s term as Meghalaya governor is over, question is being raised as to what will happen to the CMJ University case. Will it be shelved?
But Mooshahary is not pessimistic as he felt that the case has become so high-profile that it would not be possible from consigning it to the dustbin.
Mooshahary said, “I have served three notices to the state government on the matter that contains everything. I don’t think it is possible to deviate and the case will reach its logical end.”
Mooshahary, who is the visitor of the CMJ University, literally played the role of a whistleblower as he exposed irregularities taking place in the CMJ University and has now sought dissolution of the university in accordance with Section 48 of the CMJ University Act, 2009.
The CMJ University which was established in 2009 and has allegedly awarding a record number of 434 PhD degrees in the past one year apart from registering 490 more PhD scholars during the same year, which are not recognize by the UGC.
