Multiple UP teachers in soup over fake ID racket

Five months after multiple teachers were found to be working in government schools in Uttar Pradesh, using the identity and documents of one Anamika Shukla, a similar scam has emerged again in the state.

The Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force has tracked four women, working as government teachers on the educational documents and identity of another teacher, Swati Tiwari.

Two ‘Swati Tiwaris’ were found to be working in Deoria while one each were found in Barabanki and Sitapur. The real Swati Tiwari is a government teacher in Gorakhpur.

The fake teacher from Barabanki has been arrested while others have been suspended. In June, it was found that nearly two dozen women were working as fulltime teachers at Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas using the identity and documents of “Anamika Shukla”.
