In a shocking turn of events, Sushanta Nath, the headmaster of Azad Lower Primary School in the Bagirkhola area of Shribhoomi district, has fallen victim to the relentless crackdown on corruption initiated by the Chief Minister’s Anti-Corruption Branch. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing battle against bribery and corruption in educational institutions across the region.
The incident occurred at the Bisarjan Ghat in Shribhoomi city, where Mr. Nath was apprehended in the act of accepting a bribe. Reports indicate that he was caught red-handed while receiving a sum of money from an individual, allegedly as a kickback for facilitating an increment in salary for another teacher at the school. This particular case highlights the pervasive issue of corruption that plagues the educational sector, where teachers and administrators sometimes resort to unethical practices for personal gain.
The operation was executed by a dedicated team from the Chief Minister’s Anti-Corruption Branch, which has been actively working to root out corruption within government institutions. Following his arrest, Mr. Nath was taken to the Shribhoomi Sadar Police Station for questioning and further investigation. The swift action by the authorities has been lauded by many as a significant step in the fight against corruption in the education system.
