Bhubaneswar: While convicting a retired Principal of the Government Driving Training School in a disproportionate assets case, a special Vigilance court sentenced him to three years in jail in a disproportionate assets case.

The Special Judge of the Vigilance Court convicted Pravakar Behera, former Principal of the Government Driving Training School, Bhubaneswar, for possessing assets disproportionate to his known sources of income.

The court also imposed a fine of ₹1 lakh on Behera.
