New Delhi, Feb 15 (IBNS): Accepting the Ministry of HRD's recommendation, President of India Pranab Mukherjee on Monday removed Sushanta Duttagupta from the post of Visva Bharati University's Vice-Chancellor (VC).

Alleging that Duttagupta, who was appointed to the post in Sept 2011, was taking salary from Visva Bharati and pension from Jaharlal Nehru University (JNU) simultaneously and making irregular appointments, the Ministry of HRD proposed the President to sack Visva Bharati VC from his post.

According to President's Office, his dismissal order will be issued soon.

However, no reaction has been received from Sushanta Duttagupta so far.
