A BJP leader on Friday demanded a CBI inquiry into the alleged misappropriation of funds provided by the central government to a university in Allahabad. “The Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (SHUATS) is being run by its Vice Chancellor R B Lal as his personal fiefdom. He has been occupying the post for 17 years,” vice-president of the BJP’s Kashi region Devendra Nath Tripathi said on Friday.

“Lal has appointed his son as the dean and his daughter-in-law as an associate professor though neither of them possess the necessary qualifications laid down by the UGC.
