Amid allegations of a major job scam, a large police force raided the administrative building of Tripura Central University on Saturday. The operation, led by senior officials, involved searches across multiple sections of the administration, following complaints of corruption in the university's recruitment process.

Sources reveal that Vice Chancellor Ganga Prasad Prasain has allegedly provided high-salary jobs to many of his relatives, including close family members, in Tripura Central University. The allegations suggest that nepotism and favoritism have played a significant role in recent recruitments, sparking outrage among job seekers and university staff.

The police have already detained a contractual employee for interrogation.

Amtali police station is handling the case, and further arrests are expected as the investigation progresses. Several recruitment-related documents have been seized for scrutiny.

Public outrage is growing, with demands for a fair and transparent hiring process. Many students and faculty members believe that the credibility of the university is at stake, and they are calling for strict action against those involved in the corruption.

As the investigation unfolds, all eyes are now on Tripura Central University and its administration. The case is expected to bring more shocking revelations in the coming days.
