CHENNAI: Anti-graft organisation Arappor Iyakkam has raised allegations of misconduct in conducting inspections at private law colleges across the state and demanded that the state government investigate the issue.

Arappor Iyakkam member M Radhakrishnan said, in a complaint to Chief Minister MK Stalin and other officials, the organisation had filed an RTI application seeking details of periodic inspections based on information related to inspections and availability of professors in private law colleges.

The petition read, ''As per the RTI data, a combined inspection for two years was conducted in three days. During the three days, the inspection team travelled 1,200 km to inspect 10 colleges." It pointed out that, as per the norms of Tamil Nadu Dr Ambedkar Law University (Affiliation of Law Colleges), Regulations, 2013, a whole day is required to conduct an inspection in one college.

Radhakrishnan added that the team has inspected three to four colleges in a day. After considering the travel time and others, it is revealed that the team spent only seven minutes per college on average.

The petition urged the chief minister and others to take action against the persons behind the irregularities.
