Buxar School‑Cleaning Scam Case Reaches Divisional Commissioner, Hearing Set for Oct 3

The Divisional Commissioner’s office in Bihar has received a petition that claims a fake agency collected payments for cleaning government schools in Buxar. The petitioner alleges that the agency, differing by only one letter in its name from a legitimate entity, was used to siphon off crores of public funds.

According to the filing, the irregularities involve large sums paid under the pretext of school‑maintenance contracts, but the payments were routed to the alleged bogus firm. The complainant has highlighted the financial loss to the state and demanded an inquiry into the transaction records.

The matter is now under administrative scrutiny, with the next hearing scheduled for 3 October. Authorities are expected to examine the contracts, payment vouchers and the agency’s registration details to determine whether fraud occurred.

If proven, the case could prompt tighter oversight of school‑cleaning contracts across Bihar and may lead to recovery of the misappropriated funds.
