June 5: A full-time science teacher at Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV), Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh, and was found working simultaneously in multiple schools in Ambedkar Nagar, Baghpat, Aligarh, Saharanpur and Prayagraj districts. She earned over Rs 1 crore as salary in 13 months. The matter came to light when the state’s education department started creating a digital database of all government school teachers.

Director General of School Education, Vijay Kiran Anand, said a probe is under way to ascertain the facts about the teacher who has gone incommunicado. If true, the department said that an FIR will be lodged against the erring teacher. Her salary has been withheld with immediate effect, as the state education department is working to ascertain if the same bank account was used for salary transfers from different schools.
