Teacher held on cheating charges


Statesman News Service
MALDA, Aug 29: Sudeb Adhikary, headmaster of Soneghat High School in Bamongola, was arrested from his English Bazaar residence late last night on charges of cheating a large number of unemployed youths. Police produced him in Malda court today under section 420 / 427 / 467 / 468/ 471 IPC. He was remanded in police custody for more interrogation. Police had received many complaints against him and his associates a few months ago and started investigation. Though one person was arrested in connection with the case earlier, the police could not arrest the headmaster owing to lack of evidences. Recently, police collected some documents in connection with the case and arrested Adhikary from his residence around 10.30 p.m. yesterday. "We are consulting with cryptographers to establish that Mr Adhikary was involved in the racket," the Malda SP, Mr DK Mondal, said. Before formation of the School Service Commission Mr Adhikary and his associates allegedly used to take money from educated unemployed youths ensuring them job in secondary and higher secondary schools.
