Officials of the university and the Indian consulate in Dubai are in touch to take legal action against Nandan Balakrishnan, a native of Kerala, and recover the money.

Balakrishnan had established the Campus Educational Institute in Karama, Dubai, through which the Institute of Distance Education was offering various academic programmes for the past five years. It is alleged that he did not remit fees to the tune of Rs 30 lakh to the university till date. Consequently, the university withheld the results of some students who had written examinations and also declined permission to some others to appear in the examinations.
