The government is looking into some unfair things that happened when people were hired for jobs at schools.
A man named Prasanna Roy is accused of being a middleman, collecting money from people who wanted these jobs.
The government found a lot of his stuff, like tea farms and buildings, and said they got them with the money from those job candidates.
