Guwahati, Jan 21 (IBNS): Assam police on Sunday arrested a college principal for his alleged involvement in fraudulent expenditure of UGC fund.
 

According to the reports, the Dhemaji police arrested the principal of Sissiborgaon college in connection with the UGC fund misappropriation.

A top police official of Dhemaji district said a case was registered against Thanuram Bhuyan, principal of Sissiborgaon college.
