LUCKNOW, July 26 -- A fresh controversy has surfaced at the King George's Medical University (KGMU) after the university administration sought cancellation of a domestic electricity connection issued for Haji Harman Shah shrine located near Gate No. 1 on the campus. It has also urged police to investigate whether the connection was obtained using forged or misleading documents. In separate letters sent on July 24 to the Madhyanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd and the Chowk police, KGMU chief proctor Dr RAS Kushwaha requested the immediate cancellation of the 2-kW domestic electricity connection and sought legal action if any fraudulent documents were used to secure it. "The court has already ruled that the land belongs to KGMU. If that is the case, how could a domestic electricity connection be sanctioned in the name of another person? This raises serious questions about the verification process followed before the connection was approved," said KGMU spokesperson Prof K K Singh. According to the university, the land on which the shrine is situated had been the subject of a prolonged ownership dispute. Following a court ruling in KGMU's favour, the administration removed what it described as all unauthorised encroachment around the shrine in April 2025 and took possession of the site. Despite this, an application for a new domestic electricity connection was submitted on July 4 earlier this month and the connection was sanctioned on July 24. The university has questioned how a domestic connection was approved for a site that it claims is not a residential property. In its communication to MVVNL, KGMU sought a high-level inquiry into the approval process, asking which official verified the application and on what basis the required documents were accepted. The administration has also requested departmental action against officials found responsible for any irregularities. MVVNL officials had not responded to the university's allegations till the filing of this report....
