Bengal Man Granted Bail in Samagra Shiksha Fraud Case
A man named Rabin Paul, from West Bengal, was accused of stealing money meant for schools in Goa.
He was arrested by the police but has now been allowed to leave jail on bail.
The police thought he might run away or try to hide evidence, but the court decided that the investigation was finished and they didn't need to keep him locked up.
The money that was stolen was supposed to be used to help with school programs.
