Crisis deepen in Delhi University as a large number of teachers of Delhi University today arrested while protesting against Vice-Chancellor Prof. Deepak Pental’s continuance even after his term is over.
Teachers were silently protested during a university function, organized at Viceregal Lodge of the university, with black ribbon on their mouth which was attended by the Vice President of India, Prof. M. Hamid Ansari who as a Chancellor is the Head of Delhi University.

The DUTA pointed out that no Vice-Chancellor whose term has expired can continue in office until the Visitor (President of India) specifically directs him to do so. “Prof. Deepak Pental is notorious for bringing international disrepute the University and the country by selling radioactive gamma irradiator to a scrap dealer and then keeping mum over it when the whole country was looking for the source of radioactive leak in Delhi”, says DUTA in a statement.
“The police instead of arresting the ‘illegal’ VC who is responsible for deaths in Cobalt-60 case have arrested teachers who are protesting against his illegal continuation”, the DUTA says adding that these arrests will have serious impact to precipitate further crisis in the University.

The teachers were later on released by late evening.
