The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested three officials from Global BD College in Barodia, Banswara district, for allegedly demanding bribes from students. The arrests include the college director, Siddhant Jain, a political science lecturer, and a chemistry teacher, Bhupendra Jain.

According to investigators, the accused were demanding 20,000 rupees from each student to manage attendance records and issue internship relief letters, particularly for students with low attendance. Following a complaint, the ACB conducted a trap operation where Bhupendra Jain was caught red-handed accepting a 5,000 rupee bribe.

The operation was carried out under the supervision of Udaipur Range SP Piyush Dixit and led by DSP Ratan Singh Rajpurohit. The officials face charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act, and further investigations are ongoing.
