Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) members staged a protest at Mangalore University demanding the resignation of the in-charge Vice Chancellor and Registrar in connection with a recruitment scam. The protest comes after the Enforcement Directorate conducted a search at the university's administrative office regarding a multi-crore scam. The students allege that officials from Kolar-Chikkaballapura District Co-operative Milk Producers Union Limited (KOMUL) took bribes for job appointments. They also claim that the registrar distributed question papers before the examination. The resignation of the VC and Registrar is being demanded to address the negative impact on the education hub of Karnataka.
