Muzaffarpur: Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Bihar University vice-chancellor (VC) Amrendra Narayan Yadav has sought the district police's intervention to help in running the administrative building. The university has been closed for a fortnight because of an agitation by students.

In a report sent to Governor Satya Pal Malick, the VC said a handful of outsiders had unleashed a reign of terror in cahoots with student outfits. The student organisations are demanding immediate resignation and lodging of FIRs against the director of directorate of distance education, Ram Chandra Prasad, and the deputy director of distance education, Parmod Kumar Yadav, alleging that the two officials had illegally appointed 15 people to the post of clerks by violating prescribed norms. The VC is the chairman of the directorate of distance education.

Chandan Thakur, a student leader, said: "The protest will continue. The VC should remove the director and deputy director of distance education. They have been indicted by a probe team led by pro-VC R.K. Mandal. The VC had constituted a probe when the student outfits belonging to Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarti Parishad, Chatra JDU, Chatra LJP and NSUI brought had brought the illegal appointment of clerks to the notice of the university."

A student leader, Kesri Nandan Sharma, alleged: "The VC is misguiding the governor's office and hiding the truth."

Harendra Kumar, a former student union leader, said: "The director and the deputy director of the directorate of distance education had offered to resign after their names figured in the probe by the pro-VC."

Sources said the VC, in the report to the governor, said a some people were trying to block computerisation of the varsity's examination process.
