Keywords: university fees India embezzled

Vodara, India: a former clerk at the All India Civil Services Training Centre division of the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda is reported to have admitted embezzling course fees at the civil servants' training division.

It appears that he simply credited fees payments to his own accounts instead of paying them into the university's accounts.

The clerk reportedly procrastinated when asked to produce the books, and then disappeared. When he was traced two years later, reports say, he admitted his offence. And asked for a few days to raise the money to pay.

450,000 rupees is a little under USD10,000.
