DU missing marksheets, 'bullied' students
The university officials admitted the blunder, but verbally threatened the affected students and told them to lie low, it has been alleged. Nandita Narain, a former executive council member of Delhi University, said the students were scared to approach the courts because of this "intimidation".
An English teacher at the college said: "This is a major goof up for which someone from the administration has to be held answerable. Till recently the college had refuse to entertain any requests for re-evaluation (of mark sheets), which was another inexplicable decision from them."

The university reportedly lost the May annual examination mark sheets, but without giving the actual reason asked the 112 students to retake the examination on August 20. The news of the goof-up soon leaked and the university tried all means to decrease the embarrassment.
As protests mounted, the DU vice-chancellor on Wednesday said an inquiry has been initiated to ascertain how and where the mark sheets were lost; and to determine what to do now.
The second-year graduation students of English, philosophy, Sanskrit and political science, whose mark sheets were lost, were angry at the college administration as well. They alleged that the college knew about the mismanage but chose not to break the news.
"We were told about the goof up when we approach the authorities to know about the delay in declaring the results.
Normally, results are out by mid-July," a student said.
Given the situation, the college has also considered promoting all students to third year.
