Overview

  • Patiala House Court remanded the 62-year-old former institute head after his five-day police custody ended, following his Sept. 28 arrest in Agra.
  • Investigators say a fresh campus search recovered a sex toy, five CDs with suspected pornographic content, and morphed photos with world leaders.
  • Three female staffers — Shweta Sharma, Bhawna Kapil and Kajal Sharma — were arrested and admitted to pressuring students and deleting the accused’s messages.
  • Police recovered lewd chats that allegedly show solicitation, including a request to find a “sex partner” for a Dubai sheikh, with at least 17 students reporting abuse.
  • The probe now includes alleged forgery and financial irregularities, with about Rs 8 crore frozen and claims of withdrawals after FIRs as teams revisit Almora, Bageshwar and Agra for corroboration.
