A day after suspension of Delhi University’s absentee vice-chancellor Prof. Yogesh K. Tyagi for “misgovernance”, the varsity authorities set up a fact-finding committee to inquire into the recent spat between two groups in the administration and acted against his associates.

The Executive Council, the top decision-making body of the university, met here on Thursday and decided to set up the panel to investigate the sequence of events after October 21 when Tyagi and a section of faculty members tried to take over the administration, two EC members said.

The EC decided to issue a memo to Geeta Bhatt, who was appointed pro-VC by Tyagi.

It also decided not to give any administrative responsibilities to Prof. P.C. Jha, appointed in-charge registrar by Tyagi.
