The report detected anomaly in spending Tk 1 cr from the university funds. Of the amount, Tk 17.35 lakh were shown under revenue and Tk 84.94 under development heads but spent without any voucher.

On receipt of the report, the UGC chairman told journalists that proper action would be taken against the persons found guilty.

However, the action will follow following submission of his final report.

UGC chairman Dr Prof Asaduzzaman led a 4-member probe body to investigate alleged corrupt practices by former vice-chancellor (VC) of Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU) Prof Dr Wahiduzzaman. Other team members are UGC members Tareq Shamsur Rahman and Dr Mahbub Ullah and UGC director of Accounts and Audit Ibrahim Kabir.

The team left here for Dhaka yesterday after investigation.

VC Dr Wahiduzzaman was removed from his post on August 27 in face of vigorous agitation by the 'University Save the Committee' led by Patuakhali BNP vice president MA Rab.

The UGC team also visited the proposed 'Fisheries Faculty" on 100 acres land at Kuakata sea beach.
