The sleuths of Anti-Corruption Bureau from Gadchiroli nabbed an education extension officer while taking a bribe of Rs 5,000 from a student to allow him to copy in the examination. The accused, Anil Chavan (36), was in-charge of the examination center for DEd exams at ZP Junior College, Rajura. He was caught red-handed by the ACB on Tuesday afternoon.
Reports said that the DEd exams got underway since Monday, and the ZP Junior College had been designated as an examination center for five DEd colleges. Education extension officer of Rajura Anil Chavan had been deputed as center in-charge at the ZP Junior college center.
As many as 299 students of first year and 163 students of second year of DEd course are appearing for exams from this center. Chavan had alleged sought a bribe of Rs 5,000 from the students to allow them to copy during the examination.
One Sachin Kshirsagar, a student of Prabhakarrao Mamulkar DEd college, Rajura, had then filed a complaint with the Chandrapur ACB office in this regard. However, since the ACB Chandrapur team was busy in some other assignment, ACB Gadchiroli sleuths led by PI KV Kale laid a trap at the exam center on Tuesday afternoon.
At around 1.30pm, Chavan accepted the bribe amount from Kshirsagar in the exam center premises. As soon as he took the bribe amount, lurking sleuths caught him red-handed and recovered the bribe money from his pocket. Offences under relevant sections of the law have been registered against Chavan and further investigations are underway.
