MUMBAI:

The committee was constituted after a delegation of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the Bhartiya Janata Party's student wing, met the vice-chancellor (VC) earlier in the day.

"The VC appointed an inquiry committee to investigate the matter following the meeting with ABVP representatives. The probe has already started," said an MU official.
