Indore Guest Faculty Booked Over Disabled Students’ Meals
A government program gives some disabled students free meals at an institute in Indore.
Police say a guest teacher may have asked the students for money anyway.
The alleged payments were between ₹2,000 and ₹3,000 each month.
She also allegedly asked for extra money for meals on Saturdays and Sundays.
The institute’s mess was reportedly closed on those days.
A disabled student complained to a court with help from a lawyer.
The court directed police to register a case.
Police are still gathering evidence, and the teacher has not been arrested.
Police booked guest faculty member Indra Jatav over alleged meal-fee collection from disabled students.
The students were entitled to free meals under a government scheme at an Indore Industrial Training Institute.
Jatav allegedly collected ₹2,000–₹3,000 monthly from students for meals.
Police said she allegedly sought ₹500–₹700 per student for weekend meals while the institute mess was closed.
The FIR followed a disabled student’s court complaint; Jatav has not been arrested and the investigation continues.
