IIT Kharagpur accepts resignation of whistleblower professor
IIT Kharagpur's whistleblower professor Rajeev Kumar, who was suspended in 2011 for 'misconduct', has resigned from the institute. He was suspended after he made allegations of mass copying among students and irregularities in the purchase of laptops at the institute. Earlier, former President Pranab Mukherjee had quashed the compulsory retirement imposed on him by the IIT as a penalty.
