Informing of the incident, Sylvester Lugun, principal of St. Francis D’Assisi High School located at Mawlai Kynton Massar, said that the local MLA had handed over a cheque of Rs 5 lakh to the school on November 28, 2011.
“I had received the cheque from the MLA (Cajee) as financial assistance for expansion of two classsrooms. One week after receiving the cheque, I went to deposit it at the Federal Bank in Shillong.
