New Delhi: Amid allegations that Delhi University has sealed the records following a controversy over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's degrees, Vice Chancellor Yogesh Tyagi said he has not issued any such orders.

"We have received an order from the Central Information Commission (CIC) and we will respond to it after checking our records.
"As far as sealing of records is concerned I have not issued any such orders and if the university department dealing with RTIs has done in its own capacity, I am not updated about it," Mr Tyagi told news agency PTI.
BJP today released copies of BA and MA degrees of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in response to Aam Aadmi Party's allegations questioning his degree from Delhi but AAP hit back saying the documents were "forged" and had "glaring discrepancies" in them.
