‘Neither I have misused any college fund nor taken any extra fees at the time of verification of the scholarship form’, said Sahidur.

The principal strongly condemned the false allegation against him without proper evidence and stated that it is true that there is college fund at UBI Thoubal branch but the college also has its fund at other banks.

The college has two clerical staff and during the time of admission, other staffs were assigned to collect money in order to make the payment of fees easier, he added.

The college authority found that 130 students were given admission through fake signature of the principal.

The principal has released an order to expel the secretaries of the student union under article 16 (A), and they were identified as, general secretary, Md. Sabir Ahamed, magazine secretery, Md. Mutaveer Ahamed, finance secretary, Md. Sulpha, debate and extension secretary Md. Nurul Hassan and social and culture secretary, Kh. Asif Khan.
