Dear Wikipedia Team: Please replace earlier Controversy with following new one as earlier version of it was not showing complete fact. I am also providing you the reason of replacement and sources. I also need to add my new publications and changing of affiliation and new achievements which I will communicate to you shortly.

With regards,

Gopal Kundu

Newer Version: A controversy erupted in NCCS in 2006 when an anonymous mail alleged that Kundu and his student, Rangaswami might have misrepresented control data in a paper published in Journal of Biological Chemistry in 2005. The allegation was that they had used the same data from their earlier paper.[12] A committee of NCCS advised the authors to take back their second paper, however an independent committee led by G. Padmanabhan, a ex-Director of IISc, Bangalore, concluded that there was no manipulation in the data.[13] On 2007, the JBC withdrew the paper although the withdrawn JBC paper showed a high citation of 63. On 2007, Kundu and Rangaswami republished the same scientific study of withdrawn JBC paper in Oncology Reports. On 2010, Indian Academy of Sciences prohibited Kundu from its activities till 2013 on this issue and reverted thereafter and now the issue has been resolved. The citation of Oncology Reports is 62.

Reason for Replacement:

Reasons for Replacing the Controversy related write up: The JBC (2005) paper was retracted in 2007. However, the same scientific study was republished in Oncology Reports in 2007 after repeating all these experiments. This Oncology Reports related information is missing in the old write up under the Controversy Section of my Wikipedia.

In addition, the major concern of duplication of JBC, 2005 paper is related to control experiments, has nothing to do with actual scientific fact of the JBC, 2005 paper. Because of that, even retracted paper has reached a total citation of 63 and republished Oncology Reports also reached citations of 62.

Final message is (i) the duplication of data is related to control experiments and (ii) the same study has been republished in Oncology Reports. These are proven and supported by a large number of international citations. Therefore, this is a minor controversy. The NCCS could not handle this issue properly and because of that it went to multiple steps. Moreover, this duplication was done by my student, Hema Rangaswami. Nowadays ,many papers from international journals are retracted from India and nobody writes in their Wikipedia under controversy.
