P:S: This open letter has been CC-ed to Dr Kiran Bedi, Dr Kumar Viswas.
Dear Arvind,
Let us first congratulate you on your relentless fight
against corruption. Every IITKGPian feel proud that we have someone fighting
this menace from our own alumni. But today we have also come over to you to
show you few very interesting incidents being happening here at IITKGP, your
own institute and the role one of your own team fellows is playing in all this.
Dear Arvind, your whole team is supposed to be fighting a
battle to end corruption but how about one of your own team members supporting
a person who don’t seem to be very clean. As far as we have been informed, you
too know this person but definitely we give you a benefit of doubt as this came
from the same guy Rajeev Kumar. He is currently under suspension from IITKGP,
for falsely maligning the institute. Your own team member Mr Prashant Bhushan
is his lawyer and fact being Mr Bhushan seems to be supporting him even after
knowing all the true facts. Let me now show you some of his deeds.
- This person calls every other person a fraud. Let us now show you what greater fraud he did with regards to research papers. Unethical Acts and Academic Frauds of Credit grabbing in research papers as corresponding author by Rajeev Kumar. No one else (including other co-authors) knew the authors list that was finally submitted and how it was done. Information for the same is now obtained by students after corresponding with the journal editorial office to highlight the fraud committed.
The original paper was submitted as follows:
Code Compression for Performance Enhancement of Variable
Length Embedded Processors
RAJEEV KUMAR, DIPANKAR DAS, M.
SREENIVASULU, S. S. GUPTA and P. P. CHAKRABARTI
Indian Institute of Technology
Kharagpur
After
revision the paper was resubmitted as follows.
Code Compression for Performance
Enhancement of Variable Length Embedded Processors
RAJEEV KUMAR and DIPANKAR DAS
Indian Institute of Technology
Kharagpur
The paper has since been published in
ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems with only two authors. Rajeev
Kumar simply removed names of two students and one colleague without even
informing them. And this fellow talks big of others ‘grabbing his IPR’. Other
authors were not even told that a review report came. Complete credit and IPR
was grabbed for this work depriving others. The other student author, being a
PhD candidate had apparently no say and was given the impression that
everything was taken care of which he realized later was wrong.
- Coming to the next, do
check this article Arvind. (Link).
This do looks like a scam. But now check out with this (link).
The whole clarification on the same has been given here. If you feel like
looking into the original copies of the same documents as mentioned in the
blog, you can be easily provided as they were all circulated among the
faculty. What is more interesting is the charge he gave on his own blog
Eklavya recently. Let me copy paste the same for you.
“IIT Deputy Director, Prof. A.K. Mazumdar, Chairman Purchase Comm., in Laptop Scam, ignored hugely cheaper laptop (Rs 69 K) which matches best with the specifications. Instead, IIT approved laptop at exorbitant rates (Rs 107 K) of the same make, when laptop’s demand was in hundreds. Other members included CSE professors (Prof. I. Sengupta and Prof. R. Mall), Dean Alumni (Prof. A. Patra), Head CIC (Prof. P.K. Biswas and Dr D.K. Nanda) and Prof. C.S. Kumar. Prof. Mazumdar siphoned millions for his spouse from his/his protégé (CSE Prof. Jayanta Mukhopadyay)’s project funds.”
This he posted just about a week back. He goes to the media
charging Dean SRIC on this same laptop issue but now suddenly the concerned
Dean’s name is completely missing from his recent blog post (screen shot of the
whole blog post has been kept). Not only that, in this article of HT when lot
many went ahead to post the true facts, the reporter with Rajeev Kumar (who
posted here as Eklavya) deleted each and every comment. The screen shots of all
they did internally (shows clearly how guilty they really were) have been
posted here. (Link)
His links with few reporters and how they together get into
the act of putting out false news is now nothing new. Reporter Akshaya Mukul of
TOI has always come up with juicy anti-IITKGP news after getting feedbacks from
this suspended prof. The reporter has even gone on to plead for this prof and
how he is being victimized in his articles. You simply need to make a search
and Akshaya’s way of working would be clear. Interestingly this reporter has
been shown all these proofs yet he decided to keep mum on the true facts about
Rajeev Kumar. Let me show you one of his recent articles. We are aware of the
fact that even here Rajeev Kumar is involved.
- Check out this article. (Link). The article would give you a complete picture of the new issue that has been taken up by Rajeev Kumar in collaboration with few unethical journalists. It is a complete different matter as to how official information from the MHRD got leaked to the press; let us keep that on side as of now. That’s something I am sure the concerned person would need to reply to at some later date. But matters don’t stop here. What came as shock for all was the fact that all the comments from the article were deleted by TOI. Check this link to see the comments and then decide if they really deserved the hack? (Link). Isn’t this a clear indication of them being guilty!
Dear Arvind, these are just 3 cases we showed you. There’s
many more but we feel they are enough for now to show the true face of Rajeev
Kumar. And this very man is supported by none other than your partner in
crusade against corruption – Mr Prashant Bhushan. On one hand you all fight against
politicians and bureaucrats to end corruption, and here’s a corrupt person who
one of your very team leader is supporting! You shout and tell the nation about
the force being used by govt against your agitation so that your mouths are
shut. And here’s Rajeev Kumar hand in glove with the reporters doing the same
for all IITKGPian voices because they were speaking out the truth.
Take your time to go through the links and truth would be
before your eyes. We are quite amazed with the fact that even after knowing
them all how can Mr Bhushan support this person (currently we have decided to
believe that you are unaware of all this). And a request, please do not come up
with the plea that your friend Bhushan had no knowledge. You and your team, who
have shown the path to all Indians for RTI, who have used this particular act to
maximum use, you all could have easily obtained the documents. And also don’t
insult our agitation by calling it a ‘conspiracy’ against your team. We are
simply IITKGPian, who love our institute and its professors. We have no
allegiance to anything that’s in any way connected to ‘politics’. We are
finding it quite amusing that one person who is in the forefront of anti
corruption crusade is supporting an unscrupulous person.
Hope to hear from you soon. This is an open letter, to be
posted on this blog. (Link)
And the letter also goes to few others in your team so that they too are aware
of true facts.
Regards
Affected IITKGPian
