Arrested EIILM Univ officials make bail

GANGTOK, 07 May: EIILM University, Sikkim, Vice-Chancellor, Dr. OB Vijayan, Registrar, Col [redt] Alok Bhandari and Examination Controller, Bijay Dahaia were released on surety bail bond by the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court at Gangtok today.
The CJM, after hearing the state and defending counsels at length, released the EIILM University administrators on bail. The Sikkim Police, following an FIR lodged at Sadar Police Station here, had arrested the trio from Jorethang on Monday for charges framed under Sections 467/ 468/ 471/ 167/ 181/ 120B of the IPC. This in connection with alleged violation of University norms after a lady from Haryana was allegedly awarded an M.Ed degree even though no such course is offered at EIILM University here.
Senior Counsel of the EIILM University, KT Bhutia, along with Bandana Pradhan and Nisha Agrawal argued that the police have arrested the accused persons without proper investigation of the case and that their arrest was premature at the present stage and hence they be released on bail.
