Sukhdev further criticized director and alleged that Director TBS was not able to provide the right information to the PIO Jammu University about the External Examiners invited for the PHD final Via – Voce hence PIO has replied to a RTI filed by a NSF activist with a less information and not accurately organized information. NSF strongly condemned the role played by the Director TBS in committing these irregularities and corruption that for Director TBS is the sole responsible. However, he asked the 3-member high level inquiry committee to complete its probe within day possible.
