The ACB on Monday arrested head of the Sociology Department in Sardar Patel University in Anand district for allegedly accepting Rs 90,000 cash to "clear" the PhD degree of a student.
"The professor and HoD of Sociology department, Patel, was caught red handed, when he was accepting money from his PhD
student. The trap was laid after the student complained that a demand of Rs 6 lakh was made by the professor to clear his
thesis and confer the degree," an ACB release said.
In the complaint, the student, whose identity has been withheld by ACB, alleged that Patel first demanded Rs 6 lakh
from him and then agreed to grant him the degree for Rs 3 lakh.
The student has already paid Rs 2.10 lakh to Patel, who kept of demanding the remaining amount of Rs 90,000 from the student," the ACB said.
