DUSU president Ankiv Baisoya not enrolled in varsity or college, says Thiruvalluvar University
Oct.04 : The registrar of Thiruvalluvar University in Tamil Nadu on Wednesday wrote to the state’s principal secretary of education stating that Delhi University Students’ Union President Ankiv Baisoya has not enrolled in the university and a certificate that he submitted was fake.
In September, the Congress students’ wing – National Students’ Union of India – circulated a letter from the Thiruvalluvar University’s controller of Examination stating that the certificates Baisoya had submitted to take admission to Delhi University’s Buddhist Studies department for a postgraduation degree were fake.
The NSUI made the allegation a few days after Baisoya was elected president of the Delhi University Students’ Union. Baisoya, who is from the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Praishad, had claimed that he studied “several types of subjects” at Thiruvalluvar University in Tamil Nadu’s Vellore from 2013 to 2016.
“Ankiv Baisoya has not enrolled either in our university or in any of our constituent or affiliated colleges and is not our student at all,” Thiruvalluvar University Registrar V Peruvalluthi said in a letter to Tamil Nadu’s principal secretary of education. Scroll.in has a copy of the letter dated October 3.
The registrar also reiterated that the exam controller’s letter was genuine. “The certificate he [Baisoya] has produced is fake and not from our university,” the registrar’s letter said. “The controller of examination has issued a letter stating that the certificate is not genuine after official verification of records of the controller of examinations office.”
Delhi University has initiated an inquiry into the matter but is dragging its feet over it.
KTS Sarao, the head of Buddhist Studies department, told The Times of India that the university wrote to Thiruvalluvar University last week “with six semester marksheets and requested it to verify them”. The department has claimed that it has not received a response from the university yet.
Meanwhile, Delhi University has decided to bundle fake marksheet allegations against Baisoya with another 200 such cases, reported The Times of India. Sarao said he had received 12 complaints against 200 students for submitting fake marksheets.

CM Siddaramaiah alleges ‘criminal conspiracy’ in Sringeri recount, vows legal action
Bengaluru (PTI): Alleging a “criminal conspiracy” by BJP candidate D N Jeevaraj in the Sringeri Assembly poll recounting, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah on Tuesday said the outcome was manipulated after valid postal ballot votes in favour of Congress leader T D Raje Gowda were tampered with during the recounting process.
Following a Karnataka High Court order on an election petition filed by Jeevaraj, challenging Raje Gowda’s election, the reverification and recounting were conducted on Saturday.
After the reverification and recount of postal ballots for the Sringeri Assembly constituency, votes polled in favour of Raje Gowda were reduced by 255, the returning officer said.
A report on the matter has been submitted to the Election Commission of India for further action, the officer added.
Congress leader Raje Gowda had won the 2023 Assembly polls from Sringeri by 201 votes, defeating his nearest rival Jeevaraj.
Addressing a press conference in Bengaluru, Siddaramaiah said the High Court had directed the recounting of postal ballots and that irregularities were noticed during the exercise conducted on May 2.
“This is a clear case of criminal conspiracy,” Siddaramaiah said, alleging that valid votes cast in favour of Raje Gowda were altered after being accepted by counting agents of all parties, including Congress, BJP, and JD(S).
He claimed that during the recounting of postal ballots, 255 votes were initially accepted as valid by all agents but were later tampered with by subordinate officials.
“There is a second mark on the votes polled in favour of Raje Gowda. They had accepted these as valid votes. Subsequently, another mark was made by officials. This is a clear case of criminal conspiracy,” he said.
When asked who was behind the alleged conspiracy, the CM replied, “It was hatched by Jeevaraj and others. It is planned.”
Siddaramaiah further alleged that the returning officer acted improperly by declaring the result despite the presence of an Election Commission observer during the recounting.
“Immediately after the counting, the returning officer announced the result. He should not have done so; this is against the law,” he said.
He pointed out that Raje Gowda had originally won by 201 votes, but after the recounting, the BJP candidate was declared the winner by 52 votes.
“The BJP has committed a criminal act of conspiracy. This is not vote chori but vote dacoity,” he alleged.
The CM said a police complaint had already been filed by Raje Gowda’s election agent, Sudhir Kumar, and emphasised the need for electoral integrity.
“We want transparency and free and fair elections. That is what our Constitution mandates,” he added.
Stating that the government would pursue legal remedies, Siddaramaiah said, “We are preparing an appeal challenging the returning officer’s announcement in a court of law.”
Responding to a separate query on elections in other states, the CM said there appeared to be an anti-incumbency factor in West Bengal, while results in Tamil Nadu were “surprising,” adding that Vijay’s party was emerging as the largest there.
Following the victory of party candidates in Bagalkote and Davanagere South, Siddaramaiah expressed confidence about future electoral prospects in Karnataka.
“Even in 2028, we will win the Assembly elections. We will come back,” the CM said.
Siddaramaiah added that he would order a forensic examination into the alleged tampering of postal ballots.
