Overview

• The absconding former head of a Delhi management institute was tracked to an Agra hotel late Saturday and brought to Delhi, days after a court denied him anticipatory bail in a related fraud case.
• Police say statements from 32 students were recorded, with 17 alleging obscene messages, unwanted physical contact, and coercion through confiscated phones and withheld certificates, primarily targeting EWS scholars.
• Financial inquiries have frozen about ₹8 crore across 18 bank accounts and 28 fixed deposits, and investigators say roughly ₹50–55 lakh was withdrawn after the FIR was filed.
• Forensic work is underway on seized NVRs, hard disks and phones as probes examine allegations of hostel surveillance via CCTV, forged UN-style number plates and fake visiting cards, and a seized vehicle.
• Sringeri’s Sri Sharada Peetham has severed ties with him, and police are scrutinizing institute staff and wardens for potential abetment as multiple FIRs proceed.
