Deepal Pentel, Ex VC DU
NEW DELHI:Former Delhi University vice chancellor Deepal Pental was today arrested and sent to Tihar jail on a fellow professor’s complaint. He will, however, be released soon as the High Court has stayed his arrest warrant.
A Delhi court ordered Professor Pental’s arrest on a petition by Professor P Parthasarthy, who had accused him of plagiarising his paper on biotechnology and also illegally using cobalt, a chemical substance, from the university’s science lab.
Professor Pental was arrested for the “unauthorized use of a hazardous material,” which is a non-bailable offence and carries a maximum sentence of life in jail.
Mr Pental, 63, a professor of genetics and a noted researcher, was the vice chancellor of Delhi University in 2005-2010. He is described as an expert in the field of transgenics and has reportedly published more than 60 research papers. He has also received many awards, including one from France.
To Date – 15th October 2014Prof. Dinesh Singh,Vice-Chancellor,Delhi University,Delhi -110007
Subject: Request for inquiry of fake experience certificate issued from Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Center for Biomedical Research North Campus, Delhi University.
Reference: RTI reply received from CPIO, DU vide letter No Info/ OA/ 1761/ 2014/ 5294 Dated 30th September 2014
Sir,
Delhi University since its inception is guiding source for all other Indian universities due to its proximity with education ministry, UGC and power center at Delhi.
With passage of time, however, it has been noticed that casual attitude has been taken over and faculties are involve in recruitments in various government organizations as a expert and “very early they have adopted a culture of one man scratch another man back”
The opportunity give Delhi University for collaborating the science and technology with various labs have been diluted when some faculties shows leniency in performing the business which has lowered the image of DU.
One such example of this casual attitude has been surfaced when one senior scientist with ten years service annulled on last Friday 10th October 2014 as the appointment found manipulated and the DU environment biology faculty was participated as a expert for interview of Biotechnology scientist recruitment in RAC, DRDO.
It is astonishing fact that how DU administration allowed environment biology faculty to play role as expert for Biotechnology scientist recruitment and bunch of brilliant biotechnology candidate he selected environmental biology candidate. Basically he was instrumental for the said task but we all believe that no professor will help the corrupt official because rest candidates are also their students.
Another case observed of issuing experience certificate to Mrs S Geetha by Prof. Vani Brahmachari, ACBR. Earlier RTI reply by CPIO, DU clearly send that all six faculties specifically denied that Mrs S Geetha never work in any research project at ACBR including the signatory Prof. Vani Brahmachari.
Recent above reference RTI reply the information given by Prof K Natrajan, Offg, Director, ACBR vide letter no ACBR/14/843 dated 29/30 September 2014 stated that the issued certificate is genuine without furnishing any evidence financial/report/application/ appointment letter etc of Mrs S Geetha which can justify that Mrs S Geetha worked as research assistant for 38 days at ACBR.
It seems Prof K Natrajan, Offg, Director, ACBR not serious about the image of DU and trying to mislead the authorities of HRD ministries. He also not aware the Sh A K Antony already given approval for CBI inquiry on 29th October 2013 reference Notes at 48-55 ante and the observation of JS & CVO at note 56 ante (few pages is enclosed herewith for ready reference)
It is requested for the sake of DU image and for sake of eligible students who study hard to get good job and wish to serve nation but the nexus of corrupts ruins their honest wish, therefore, an authoritative investigation required for the matter pertaining to Mrs S Geetha. It will further stop the casual attitude of faculties and directors of Delhi University to play with future of genuine scholars.
Experience Certificate issued by Prof Vani Brahmachari.

Ex DOP, Dr Arun Kumar’s daughter Ms Sawti Srivastava, Scientist ‘C’ DIPAS was terminated at 5:30 Hrs on Friday 10th October 2014.
She was recruited through RAC without having eligibility for the post of Scientist ‘B’ in 2004. Dr Arun Kumar was than Director, RAC and manipulated all recruitment rules for secure her appointment for the post of Sc ‘B’
like
the subject advertised for recruitment was Biotechnology but her subject was environment science. For interview call the number of candidates against post ratio was changed temporary to accommodate her name
For interview subject expert was called from Delhi University the faculty of Environmental Science for the post of Biotechnology.
Ultimately after long fight since 2009 with gang of corrupt officials finally the day has come – Satya ki jeet hui ( सत्य की जीत हुई )
Congratulations to Dr Neelam Bhalla, Sc ‘F’,DTRL, Sh Prakash Singh, Senior Admin Officer Grade – II, LASTEC, Dr. Rajiv Chauhan, Dr A K Singh, DOP, DRDO, Media persons, CVC, CVO, MODfor their great effort for clean DRDO from Corrupt officials.

Now count down began for removal of Ms S Geetha, Sc, D, DIPAS for submitting fake experience certificate and Ms Dolly Bansal, Sc ‘C’, DIPR recruited without having proper qualification at the time application date. Dr Snehmani, Sc ‘F’,SASE recruited without meeting eligibility criteria, giving fake inputs at the time of selection of scientist ‘C’ and finally Cmdr S K Patelhusband of Ms Tessy Thomas (Agni Putri)who got illegal appointment as Sc ‘G’ and subsequently given post of director within three days by superseding 480+ scientist ‘G’, one of the great achievement of Sh Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO.
