Further, they asked the managers to take their respective teams and promised that prompt payment will be made to them on actual on their return. But upon the return the college officials found that the university had made advance payments to the departmental clerk with the consent of the director of the sports department even before the sports team left Ujjain.

Why the director of the Sports Department and the departmental clerk did not give the full amount to the administrator even after receiving the full amount in advance from the university? However, they are yet to receive any response from the university yet.
