The Nilamber Pitamber University's Computer Centre, the hub of examination and result works will start functioning from Tuesday in the wake of a very categorical assurances given by SP Palamu Patel Mayur K lal with regard to safety and security of the officer and staff working there said Pro VC Bijay Singh.
Singh said, "I had a talk with SP Palamu who told me that adequate police cover would be there at the NPU's computer centre located on NH 75'. On July 29 one Chandan Singh and four others had raided the centre and had bullied and threatened and manhandled the Examination Controller Vijay Kumar Prasad and other personnel."
Daltonganj police have registered a criminal case against Chandan Singh and others said OC Daltonganj police station Sanjay Kumar Malviya. The FIR was lodged once the registrar of NPU Amar Singh forwarded the written complaint of Vijay Kumar Prasad to Daltonganj police station on July 30 evening. OC said police would arrest Chandon Singh and others very soon.
Singh said the university is going to take up this matter with DC and SP Palamu for providing armed body guard to Vijay Kumar Prasad as his job of being the controller of examinations is very sensitive and he is open to hazards of profession.
On Monday officials of the university held a meeting under the chairmanship of the Pro VC and unanimously condemned the July 29 episode. The NPU is toying with the plan to install a fleet ofCCTVs in the university office and also at the computer centre.
Police sources said raid at Chandan Singh's residence has been stepped up by police as he and his people have gone into hiding. The controller Vijay Kumar Prasad has demanded that apart from police and law actions the university should blacklist the M Sc examinee Chandan Singh when PVC referred this demand first to university's disciplinary committee and then to examination board.
