University removes professor from director post Updated: Updated: Share Article AAA Mangalore University on Monday removed M. Jayashankar, a Professor of Microbiology, from his office as the Director of the College Development Council (CDC) of the university. He was replaced by V. Ravindrachary, a Professor of Physics, who has, earlier, served as the Registrar (Evaluation) of the university. Prof. Jayashankar landed in controversy after he complained to the police that a conman, Prasad Attavar, cheated him of ₹17 lakh which he had paid to Attavar for getting the post of the Vice-Chancellor of Raichur University. In addition, he had given Attavar three blank cheques as he had promised him of getting the post. The city police, who registered a case in this connection, arrested Attavar last week.
