The Chancellor of the University of Science and Technology, Meghalaya (USTM) Md. Mahbubul Haque was brought to Guwahati today by police for questioning in connection with an ongoing investigation. The move comes after multiple allegations surfaced regarding financial irregularities and misconduct within the university’s administration.
Sources confirmed that the Chancellor was escorted by police to Guwahati, where he is expected to make an official statement to local law enforcement. The authorities have not disclosed further details about the nature of the investigation, but it is believed to be related to claims of financial mismanagement and procedural violations at the university.
The USTM, which is one of the prominent educational institutions in the region, has recently faced scrutiny over its operations. The allegations reportedly involve unauthorized transactions and misuse of funds intended for various university programs and infrastructure development. While the Chancellor’s statement is expected to provide clarity on the matter, the university community and local residents have been left in suspense.
Many are awaiting an official response from the university’s administration, as well as details on how the investigation might affect its academic and administrative functions. Local law enforcement officials have assured that they are following all due legal procedures in the investigation, and they are keen to ensure a fair and transparent process.
It remains to be seen how this development will unfold and what the future holds for both the USTM and its leadership. At this stage, no formal charges have been filed, and the Vice Chancellor’s legal team has not issued any public statements regarding the ongoing investigation. Further updates are expected as the situation progresses.
