Former registrar of Ayurveda University Mrityunjaya Mishra was arrested bythe sleuths of the Vigilance Department here Monday evening on charges of corruption.
The Vigilance Department had initiated a probe against Mishra in July this year and registered a case against him last month under various sections of the IPC including 120 b (criminal conspiracy) and 420 (fraud), Superintendent of Police (vigilance) Pramod Kumar said.
The charges date back to his tenure at the university. Mishra was arrested from a cafe at EC Road in the city, the official said.
