JAIPUR: The Rajasthan government Friday told the assembly that a committee will be formed to look into the Opposition's charge that Udaipur's Mohanlal Sukhadia University vice-chancellor Amarika Singh used "fake" document to get the job.

Higher education minister Rajendra Singh Yadav also told the House that an FIR may be registered in the case if necessary. During the zero hour, the leader of opposition Gulab Chand Kataria said that the documents Amarika Singh gave to the selection committee for his appointment as the vice-chancellor are "fake".
