The Acting Principal of Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar Schedule Caste residential girls' school in Bihar's Arwal district was today arrested by the Vigilance department on graft charge.
Raju Qureshi, a native of Karbigahiya locality here, complained that the principal Kumar Sunil Sinha demanded bribe of Rs 6,000 for accepting the voucher in lieu of supply of food for the students, an official release said.
A Vigilance Investigation Bureau (VIB) team, led by the Deputy Superintendent of Police Vijay Kumar Srivastava, laid a trap and arrested Sinha no sooner than he took the amount in his chamber from the complainant, it said.
Sinha was being brought to Patna for interrogation and later he will be produced before the designated vigilance court for forwarding him to judicial remand, the release added.
