Attempts being made to seek donations in name of Stephen's: Valson Thampu

St Stephen's college principal Valson Thampu on Monday claimed that a fraudulent attempt is being made to seek donations for relief to Jammu and Kashmir flood victims in name of the college.

"A fraudulent attempt to cheat the public using the name of St Stephen's College and its credibility has come to the notice of the college. Appeal for donations purportedly to provide relief to the victims of J&K floods, made in the name of Rohit Kumar Yadav who is shown as President Students Union society of the college is in circulation," Thampu said in a press statement.

"The signature of Rohit Kumar Yadav is forged. The document shows Nandita Narain (faculty and DUTA president) as the supporter. The college has filed a complaint with the police urging appropriate action," it added. Police officials, however, said that no such complaint has been received by them so far.
