Times of India: Ranchi: Tuesday,
08 September 2020.
A public
interest litigation (PIL) was filed in Jharkhand high court seeking Godda MP
Nishikant Dubey’s arrest for allegedly procuring a fake management degree from
Delhi University’s Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) on Monday. The Delhi
University vice-chancellor and FMS director have also been made a party in the
petition.
Calling
for a CBI probe into the rumours against the BJP lawmaker, petitioner Danyaal
Danish, a resident of Jamshedpur, also arraigned the Election Commission and
sought an immediate termination of Dubey’s membership from the Lok Sabha for
furnishing “wrong information while filing his nomination form during the 2009,
2014 and 2019 general elections”.
The
petitioner added that documents obtained from Delhi University through the
Right to Information (RTI) Act confirmed that no person by the name of
Nishikant Dubey has ever been granted a degree by the varsity.
Danish’s
counsel Rajeev Kumar said FMS is known for its MBA curriculum and students
graduating from the institute here are offered salary packages running into
lakhs of rupees from various multinational companies. During a placement
programme in 2020, an FMS student secured a salary package of 58.8 lakh while 100
other students received an annual package of Rs 31 lakh, Kumar said.
