A government teacher in Sukutupalli village, Jainoor mandal of Asifabad, was suspended on Thursday for attending school in an inebriated state. Tribal welfare officials said action followed a village complaint and warned of strict measures against negligent teachers through surprise inspections.
Jainoor Inspector K Anjaiah, in a press statement, said that the funds Rs 7,31,350, being carried by Garikemukku Vijaya Kumari travelling by an TSRTC bus, were seized when she failed to furnish relevant receipts of the cash.
The students alleged that Parushuram, the warden of the hostel, was diverting the rice grains by taking help from Purshottam, assistant tribal welfare officer of Jainoor.
