In the Rangra police station area of Naugachia subdivision, Bhagalpur district, Anant Kumar, the director of Gyanoday Awas Vidyalaya, has been accused of non-payment of wages and threatening a driver. Khushboo Kumari, wife of driver Santosh Kumar, has filed an FIR in this regard at Rangra police station. According to Khushboo Kumari, Anant Kumar employed her husband, Santosh, to drive a four-wheeler for a monthly salary of 10,000 rupees. Initially, Santosh received wages for some time, but payments were later stopped. Despite this, he continued to work until August 2026. When Khushboo demanded the outstanding wages for her husband, Anant Kumar allegedly threatened her, claiming to be a journalist for a local newspaper, and refused to pay the money.

To resolve the matter, a village council (panchayat) was held on August 19, 2026, in the presence of villagers. A settlement was reached on a stamp paper, agreeing that the outstanding amount would be paid in three installments. However, the payment was not made within the stipulated timeframe. Khushboo Kumari alleges that when she demanded wages, Anant Kumar often said, "Do whatever you want, my connections are high up." The police have registered a case and are currently investigating the entire incident.
