Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A woman guest faculty member was booked for allegedly collecting money from disabled students for meals provided free under a government scheme in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
The woman, identified as Indra Jatav, wife of Anil Jatav and a resident of Rajiv Awas Vihar, is a guest faculty member at an Industrial Training Institute (ITI) in Indore’s Hira Nagar area.
Police registered a case of criminal breach of trust following a complaint by Anju Kohli and directions from a court.
Suspect allegedly collected ₹2k -₹3k monthly
Hira Nagar police station in-charge Sushil Patel said Jatav was working as a guest faculty member at the institute.
Under a government scheme, disabled students studying at the institute are provided free meals.
However, Jatav allegedly collected between ₹2,000 and ₹3,000 from students every month for the food.
Police said she allegedly took advantage of the institute’s mess remaining closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
She reportedly collected ₹500 to ₹700 from each student on the pretext of arranging meals on those days.
Disabled student approaches court
A disabled woman student approached the court through her lawyer over the alleged collection of money. Following the court’s direction, Hira Nagar police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Jatav.
Jatav has not yet been arrested. Police are investigating the allegations and collecting further evidence.
