Lucknow, April, 2 : The district president of the Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Teachers’ Association, Neeta Awasthi, who was facing charges of beating up a Dalit clerk at the District Inspector of School (DIOS) office, was arrested on Thursday evening.
Barabanki SP Navneet Rana said Awasthi was arrested while she was on her way to Lucknow along with an MLC, Devi Dayal Shasthri. Awdhesh Kumar, an accountant posted with the Barabanki DIOS office, had lodged an FIR against Awasthi on Thursday morning. He had alleged that on March 29, Awasthi had come to his office and asked for details of government fund spent in the last financial year on various heads related to teachers. As he refused to furnish the details till the DIOS issued orders in this regard, Awasthi reportedly beat him up. Awasthi was produced before the court in the evening, from where she was sent to judicial custody.
