Murky politics to fore as NU polls returning officer resigns

With the resignation of Vilas Ramteke, assistant returning officer for Nagpur University's board of studies (BOS) polls, dirty politics has once again came to fore in the institution. Ramteke put in his papers citing 'pressure tactics' by a strong political group. However, some inquiries into the episode reveal murky affairs, with some candidates having forged documents to stake claims to nominations.

Sources revealed that nominations of 11 candidates were rejected, of which as many as five candidates had either submitted forged papers or filled false information while staking their claims. Ramteke, who is a deputy registrar, had rejected these paper since they also failed to meet the criteria required for the BOS polls as mentioned in the Maharashtra Universities Act, 1994.
