Rangasamy has written to Lt. Governor Iqbal Singh recommending Kalyanasundaram’s removal, a minister, who did not want to be named, told IANS.
Tamil Nadu Police is on the look out for Kalyanasundaram on the charges of impersonation while writing the final exam on a complaint from Tamil Nadu’s education department.
