MANDYA: Kalarajegowda, the headmaster of a school in Maragowdanahalli village of Malavalli taluk has been suspended on the charges of stealing food grains meant for midday meal programme
The police has registered an First Information Report (FIR) against him.
According to police, Kalarajegowda allegedly sold the food grains of midday meals in black market.
