IIT-Delhi director resigns, govt denies any pressure
Shevgaonkar submitted his resignation last week citing personal reasons. The resignation came two years before his term was to end.
The resignation will be forwarded to President Pranab Mukherjee who is a Visitor to the IIT.
The Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry denied media reports that the director quit over its two alleged directives - to facilitate land in the IIT campus for a cricket academy run by Sachin Tendulkar and to settle salary dues of BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, who was once a part of the institute.
