Nikose suspended

The Nagpur university bosses finally suspended their tainted employee Satyaprakash Nikose on Friday, two days after he was caught red-handed while accepting bribe of Rs 20,000 from a mess contractor. Reliable sources informed that officiating vice-chancellor BV Gopala Reddy suspended him under special powers given to him as per Section 14(9) of Maharashtra universities act, 1994.


Ironically, NU authorities failed to act even after he was sentenced to police custody remand on Wednesday. Taking undue advantage of it, the tainted official went to his office at NU library illegally and also signed many documents, which was reported by TOI. More shocking was the fact that he was hailed by his supporters and office was kept open for him even after official duty hours.
