Times of India: Navi Mumbai: Wednesday, 23 June 2021.
Police have registered an FIR against the principal of a law college in Panvel for cheating and forgery. The principal had allegedly submitted a proposal for fee hike to the Fee Regulatory Authority by showing inflated salaries of professors for 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2019-20 as compared to what was actually paid. The incident came to light after a professor filed an RTI query and obtained information from Mumbai University and the Fee Regularity Authority.
In September last year, accused Dr Rajesh Sakhare, principal of Saint Wilfred Law College at Shedung, was booked in another case, along with a woman professor, for allegedly passing a law student without him taking the exams.
Complainant professor Sagar Kamble has alleged the principal had cheated the professors as well as the Fee Regulating Authority as he had submitted forged documents to get fee hikes approved since 2016. He said his signatures were forged on the receipts. Sakhare is alleged to have shown inflated salaries for other professors too, including those who had left the college.
“We will also probe whether the accused principal has embezzled money belonging to the college after allegedly manipulating the salaries of several professors,” said senior inspector Ravindra Daundkar of Panvel taluka police.
