North Bengal University VC Subires Bhattacharyya has said some 100 emails were sent from two fake IDs created in his name in the past few days, cadging for favours or gift vouchers.

“The fake IDs are chairman3370@gmail.com and vicechancellorp@gmail.com. ...around 100 mails have been sent to teachers, research scholars and to some vice-chancellors...that the vice-chancellor of North Bengal University needs some favour and that they should reply immediately,” said Bhattacharyya.

Those who replied, he said, got another mail that he needed gift vouchers.

Bhattacharyya, sources said, has filed a complaint with cyber crime police of Siliguri police commissionerate on Friday. Google has been notified as well, the source added.
