'Corrupt' Indian official's house turned into school
india is full of corrupt officials .

<The house of a senior Indian civil servant on trial for corruption has been turned into a school for slum children.

Shiv Shankar Verma had his property in the Bihar state capital, Patna, confiscated under new state laws.

Mr Verma denies amassing wealth disproportionate to his income.

It is thought to be the first time such a law has been used in this way in India, which has been hit by a series of corruption scandals.

The school opened on Thursday to the delight of about 100 children, mainly from the Dalit (formerly untouchable) community.>
