Two KGBV teachers booked for using same testimonials in UP

LUCKNOW: In yet another case of fake teachers working in Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (KGBVs) on the testimonials of others, police lodged an FIR against two women for working as teachers with same credentials in Mau on Monday.
Police said on the complaint of basic shiksha adhikari (BSA) OP Tripathi, a case of forgery and impersonation was lodged against two women, identified as Rambha Pandey and Mamta Rai.
SHO, Haldharpur, Devendra Srivastava said during verification of all teachers at KGBVs in Mau, two were found to be suspicious after the BSA lodged an FIR.
“Both the women were found to be working on educational documents of someone else,” he said.
Srivastava said Mamta Rai joined as a teacher in KGBV at Mau in 1995 and was transferred to Maharajganj in 2000.
“Another woman in the name of Mamta Rai joined KGBV again in 2002 in Mau. When the credentials of the teachers were checked, it was found that Rambha Pandey was residing at the address provided as that of Mamta Rai in Ratanpura block,” he said.
During inquiry, it was found that no woman in the name of Mamta Rai was found in Ratanpura block. Mau cops have also contacted their Maharajganj counterparts to trace Mamta Rai who earlier used to teach in Mau.
“A case of dishonesty, using a genuine document as forged, cheating by impersonation has been registered. A police team has also launched a manhunt to nab Rambha Pandey,” he said.
On June 4, TOI had exposed a racket in which 25 women with the name and personal details of one Anamika Shukla were found working in various KGBVs and drawing Rs 1 crore as salary in 13 months.
Later, UP special task force (UP STF) cracked the case and nabbed the kingpin along with two of his associates.
The real Anamika Shukla, a housewife, was found in Gonda who lodged a complaint after finding out that her name was being used to execute the fraud.
