CHENNAI: Officials of the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption on Monday arrested an Additional Assistant Educational Officer on the charge of taking a bribe from a schoolteacher.
According to sources in the agency, J. Christina Mary (40) works as a teacher in an aided school at Sendivakkam near Melmaruvathur. She was appointed on June 2, 2008, but her salary and incentives were not being paid regularly. When she approached AAEO V. Reeta Fernando (42) at Acharapakkam, the official demanded Rs.50,000. When the teacher expressed her inability to pay, Reeta brought down the demand to Rs.30,000.
Ms. Mary lodged a complaint with the DVAC and a special team led by Deputy Superintendent of Police S. Saravanan was formed to investigate the case. After changing the place of meeting several times, the accused finally asked the complainant to meet her in front of the Egmore railway station on Monday morning. The team arrested Reeta, in the presence of official witnesses, soon after she took the money. The accused has been remanded to judicial custody.
