IIT-Patna director charged in Coalnet scam

IIT-Patna director A K Bhowmick was served a
chargesheet by IIT-Kharagpur last week for his
involvement in the Coalnet scam. Bhowmick's
five-year term in IIT-Patna ends in May next
year.
R N Banerjee, professor of industrial engineering
and management in IIT-Kharagpur has also been
chargesheeted for the scam. This is the first
time that the director of an IIT has been
chargesheeted on the recommendations of CBI.
P P Chakraborty, who was also named by the
CBI, has since been appointed director of IIT-
Kharagpur after the explanation offered by him
was accepted by the HRD ministry and the
Central Vigilance Commission.
