LUCKNOW: An FIR has been lodged against 92 government teachers for allegedly submitting forged educational certificates to get the job.
The FIR was registered at Kotwali police station in Balrampur on Saturday under the charges of dishonesty and fraudulently using genuine documents.
The fraud was detected during a probe by the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force.
Circle officer, City, Balrampur, Varun Mishra, told TOI, the FIR was filed on the basis of a complaint of the basic education officer Ramchandra.
Mishra said, the teachers had been working since 2010 in the district.
“They had procured the marksheets of candidates who had qualified but were working in some other district,” said the officer.
Last year, UPSTF arrested one Anamika Shukla, a teacher who was on the payroll of 25 government schools and drew Rs 1crore in 10 months.
The STF has been working to track those teachers who have raked in huge salaries by impersonating serving teachers.
