“The Vice-Chancellor categorically states that he is not the owner of the telephone numbers and had not assigned anybody to act on his behalf.

“Efforts are being made to track and arrest the impostor while the Vice-Chancellor appeals to members of the public not to transact business with anyone on his behalf especially on the social media”, the UI Spokesperson stated.
