Indian President Ram Nath Kovind in his capacity as Visitor of the Delhi University (DU) places Vice-Chancellor Professor Yogesh Tyagi under suspension with immediate effect and orders enquiry into allegations of dereliction of duties against him. Yogesh Tyagi was appointed as Vice-Chancellor of University of Delhi on March 10, 2016.
The move comes amid a power tussle in the central university.
Tyagi has been on leave since July 2 when he was admitted to AIIMS under emergency medical condition. The government had on July 17 given Pro-VC PC Joshi the charge of VC, until Tyagi resumes office.
