In its complaint the UGC had said the IIPM was “misleading”, “cheating” and “fooling” its students as it was not recognised by any regulatory body.
A notice had been sent to both of them to join the investigation, police said.
The UGC, in its complaint, has said that despite the fact its courses are not authorised, the institute is “fooling” the students by charging a hefty fee from them. IIPM, however, had refused all such allegations, saying that the institute was not cheating its students.
