Teacher in primary school Kakrahi
The victim Yashwant Kumar Singh is posted at Primary School Kakrahi. He says that on October 28, at 12:30, he was shown absent by the Block Education Officer Saidpur. Whereas, he had gone out of school for department work. When he came back, he was told by the principal that he had been marked absent. For which he went and met Block Education Officer Avinash Rai.
Bribe of Rs 10,000 demanded for disposal
The victim Yashwant told that he went to the office of the Block Education Officer on October 9. There he met Block Education Officer Avinash Rai. He told him that if you want the matter to be resolved then give Rs 10,000 along with the application to computer operator Sujit Sharma. After this, when I met Sujit Sharma, he told me to arrange the amount that sir has told me to give, then the matter will be over. The victim told that he requested the computer operator and the Block Education Officer several times regarding this matter. But he was not ready to accept.
The victim teacher complained to the Block Education Officer
The victim contacted Anti Corruption Team Varanasi. After the complaint, the anti-corruption team arrested Sujit Sharma red handed while taking bribe. In this case, a case has been registered against Sujit Sharma, a computer operator, a contractual employee of the Block Education Officer, under Section 13(2) and Section 13(1) B and Section 7 of the Corruption Act. But the name of Block Education Officer Avinash Rai has also been included in the complaint given in Saidpur police station.
