BHU protest: Vice chancellor pays for his remarks; on indefinite leave

BHU vice chancellor Girish Chandra Tripathi, whose comments on the BHU shocked everyone, went on indefinite leave. He is blamed for violence and baton-charge on protesting girl students in the campus.

A report by the Varanasi Commissioner had also blamed the vice chancellor's role in violence and baton charge.

A new vice chancellor will be soon chosen by Union HRD Ministry as Tripathi's term is ending next month.

A judicial inquiry has also been ordered to investigate the violence.
