The inquiry report stated that Yadav had posted objectionable, indecent, and derogatory remarks in the departmental WhatsApp group between August 14 and 16, 2025. His conduct was deemed disrespectful towards national occasions, including the Independence Day celebrations, and showed disregard for the Nepali language and community.

Taking into consideration the recommendations of the disciplinary committee, the Vice-Chancellor exercised powers under the Sikkim University Act and Ordinance OC-12 to cancel Yadav’s admission with immediate effect.

The order has been circulated to the Vice-Chancellor’s office, Registrar, Finance Officer, Controller of Examinations, Librarian, Deans, Head of Departments, and members of the disciplinary committee.
