Overview

• Chandrakant Vaishnav, a Grade-III teacher from Ghatol block in Banswara, appeared at Madan Dilawar’s Jaipur residence during a public hearing with sweets and an envelope containing Rs5,000.
• Education Minister Madan Dilawar discovered the cash in place of a recommendation letter, ordered Vaishnav to stay put and immediately alerted police.
• Vaishnav submitted a written request seeking inclusion in the Rajasthan State Council of Educational Research and Training curriculum committee.
• In his application, the teacher referenced long-standing ties with the ABVP and Sangh Parivar, apparently to leverage ideological affiliations.
• Authorities have suspended Vaishnav and launched a formal investigation into the attempted bribery, raising fresh concerns over corruption in the education sector.
