Delhi Court Orders FIR Against Three in Alleged DU Teaching Job Fraud CasePreviousNext

A Delhi court has directed police to file an FIR against three individuals, including two Delhi University assistant professors, for allegedly forging documents and cheating a former assistant professor by promising a teaching job. The complainant paid ₹1 lakh for publishing research articles, claimed to be necessary for employment. After her selection in November 2023, an RTI inquiry in August 2024 found the articles fake, leading to her termination. The court ordered an investigation to identify potential additional victims.
