18. One of the grounds set up by the CBI was that, AICTE had approved the names of three persons constituting the expert committee members, for inspection of the colleges to ascertain the infrastructural facilities. However, on the request of the first accused, 2 other persons attended the committee, without the permission of AICTE. It was alleged that, she deliberately avoided the approved members of the committee and selected members of her choice. It was further alleged that, under the AICTE norms, the expert committee shall consist of three expert members but, only two experts attended the committee. Yet another allegation was that during the inspection, committee claimed to have found 4917 sq.m building. However, it was alleged that it was impossible to construct building with such a built up area in a short span of 3½ months time. It was further alleged that, during investigation, no physical verification was conducted about the existence of digital library, electrical generator, students canteen, barrier free environment, availability of faculty, computers, stadium etc which were also mandatory requirements for the approval of AICTE. It was further alleged that though the expert committee had mentioned that there was gymnasium/indoor outdoor stadium, sports stadium and rain harvesting facilities in the college, infact there were no such facilities at the time of investigation.
