Aligarh Muslim University's Vice Chancellor, P.K. Abdul Azis, who is embroiled in controversies ever since he took over, will now have to face CBI inquiry as he has been charged with graft and financial irregularities.

Sources said today the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) had decided to refer the allegations against him to CBI for further investigations.

It is alleged that the Azis made AMU pay his and the Registrar’s income tax, violated rules and regulations regarding Executive Council meetings and indulged in various other financial bunglings. He has also been accused of plagiarism in his DSc thesis.

His tenure has seen frequent student violence leading to closure of the university. Azis had earlier faced HRD Ministry inquiries.
