Indore, Jan 24 (PTI) A court here Thursday ordered the seizure of assets worth Rs 17.60 lakh of a school headmaster in Madhya Pradesh.

Special Judge S S Kushwaha observed that the headmaster, Ramdayal Joshi, had amassed the assets through corrupt means and thus, those should be impounded.

Special Public Prosecutor Mahendra Kumar Chaturvedi said the judge ordered that the ill-gotten property worth Rs 17.60 lakh of Joshi be impounded under the Madhya Pradesh Special Court Act, 2011.
