Dr. Arun Sharma, an RTI activist who revealed corrupt practices at Gwalior’s Jiwaji University, has asserted that the university is involved in a scam exceeding 35 billion rupees. Arun Sharma, the complainant, states that he is receiving death threats. The scam involving Jiwaji University granting recognition to fraudulent colleges was uncovered by Arun Sharma. Based on his complaint, the Economic Offenses Bureau (EOW) has initiated legal proceedings against 17 professors, including the Vice Chancellor of Jiwaji University Gwalior. This also encompasses the Vice Chancellor of Banswara Rajasthan.
Dr. Arun Sharma, an RTI activist, adorned the Gandhi statue at Phoolbagh with a garland and maintained two minutes of silence. Subsequently, he asserted that his life was at risk and called for the resignation of Dr. Avinash Tiwari, Vice Chancellor of Jiwaji University. The fraud involving the affiliation of Shiv Shakti College, which had been operating on paper in Jhund Pura of Morena district for years, was revealed only after Dr. Arun Sharma lodged a complaint. EOW has lodged an FIR against Dr. Avinash Tiwari, the Vice Chancellor of Jiwaji University, and 19 professors following this.
According to Arun Sharma, Jiwaji University has seen a massive scam totaling Rs. 35 billion, 64 crore, and 60 lakh over the past 14 years. He possesses all the evidence of this. He will present this information to the court in his PIL currently proceeding in the High Court. However, since he revealed the fraud within Morena, he has been threatened. In such a situation, Dr. Arun Sharma has demanded from the Governor and Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh to impose Section 52 in Jiwaji University and arrest 19 professors including the Vice Chancellor by removing them from their posts.
