President Pranab Mukherjee has given his approval for a probe into allegations of financial and other improprieties against Aligarh Muslim University's Vice Chancellor Zameer Uddin Shah. The nod of the President comes on a proposal from the HRD Ministry to which former Janata Dal MP Wasim Ahmed had given a memorandum seeking a probe into allegations against the Vice Chancellor. Mr Mukherjee's action also follows approval of a similar probe against Allahabad University Vice Chancellor RL Hangloo.
