Four months before the release of a biopic on his life starring Hrithik Roshan, Patna-based mathematician Anand Kumar has found himself at the centre of yet another controversy. Four students of IIT Guwahati have claimed that Anand Kumar, the founder of coaching institute Super 30, is a fraud.
On September 21, the Guwahati High Court issued a notice to Kumar, the founder of the educational programme ‘Super 30’, to reply to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by the students. Senior advocate Ashok Saraf, appearing for the four IIT students, submitted before the court that, “Because of the wrong projection given by Anand Kumar each year a large number of students from the Northeast and other parts of the country approach him with full faith and hope that Anand Kumar, who seems to be an IIT Baba, will help them in qualifying the IIT entrance exam.”
