Up Teachers Recruitment Scam

The Calcutta High Court, in an unprecedented move, ordered for the reconstitution of the special investigation team (SIT) of the CBI probing the alleged teachers' scam. The court also pulled up the CBI for the delay in probe.

The Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Department has initiated steps to recover a total of Rs 1.37 crore from six teachers, who were sacked after being found that they had secured their jobs on the basis of fake documents, an official said on Wednesday.

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday termed the matter relating to appointment of 69,000 teachers in UP's Basic Education department as the state's "Vyapam scam".
