IIT Delhi director Raghunath K Shevgaonkar has quit more than two years before the end of his term. According to unconfirmed news reports Shevgaonkar has been under tremendous pressure from the ministry to reportedly release pay of nearly Rs 70 lakh to former IIT D faculty and now BJP functionary Subramanian Swamy as his "salary dues" between 1972 and 1991.
Mrs Irani misbehaved & shouted at IIT Delhi director over Subramanium Swamy's dues & and said she would teach him a lesson. Director quit.
