The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Monday trapped Deputy Director of Pre-University Board Jayaprakash red-handed while he was allegedly accepting a bribe of ₹25,000 for reportedly renewing recognition of Vijaya Chethana Pre-University College in Kuvempunagar in Mysuru.

The Dy. Director and his driver have been arrested under the provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
