“Prof Ghosh and his corrupt team has eaten crore of rupees in the name of e-book procurement and construction activities, finance officer was appointed in illegal means, provided undue benefit to just retired Register, adopted corrupt means in appointment of non-teaching staff in past four years but finally he failed to appoint under qualified faculties favouring some persons following protest of the teachers.
