A female student had come for her PhD interview in the psychology department in November. However, she was not granted an interview as she did not have a valid OBC certificate. She pleaded them that she would submit it during the time of admission as she had to return to Kerala to obtain the same. But the faculty members remained stubborn and it led to an argument. A show cause notice was issued to Linga for arguing with the faculty members on behalf of the girl. The other two students claim that they were just eye witnesses, this order came to them as a surprise.
