After this, on December 27, the teachers union lodged a written complaint with the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE) regarding irregularities in appointments. The complaint outlines discrepancies observed in the recruitment process, including discrepancies in manpower data, notified posts and number of posts advertised.
Following the complaint, on January 14, the Science and Technology Section of DSHE wrote to the Chairman of the University Grants Commission (UGC) to investigate the complaint of the teachers union. In response, the UGC formed an inquiry committee to investigate the matter.
