In charge principal of MGM School of Nursing Lakavath Satish Kumari was caught in her office by the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) personnel while demanding and accepting a bribe of ₹ 40,000 from Balguri Jyothi, who is working as ANM in Venkatapur primary health centre.
ACB DSP A. Madhusudhan said Ms. Kumari demanded the bribe to issue relieving order to the complainant certifying that she completed three years of General Nursing Midwifery (GNM) training. Two other Grade – II tutors in the nursing school — Thippani Shoba Rani and Ganipaka Sharada — were also apprehended for abetting the principal’s demand for bribe.
“The in-charge principal instead of performing her public duty, improperly and dishonestly abused her official position to obtain undue advantage from the complainant. The two tutors are also found guilty of abetting the offence. The in charge principal and the two tutors are being arrested and produced before the special judge for SPE and ACB cases, Hyderabad,” Mr. Madhusudhan said asking the people to call toll free number 1064 to lodge complaints with the ACB and take action against corrupt officials as per law.
