Teacher who retired in 2021 faces FIR over job fraud
A long time ago, a man named Dinesh Chandra got a job as a teacher at a school in Agra.
He worked there for many years and retired in 2021, receiving the money and benefits that retired teachers get.
Now, officials say the job may have been gotten unfairly.
They think his brother, who was the principal of the school then, helped him get the job.
Teachers are usually chosen by a committee, and helping a relative get a job that way is against the rules.
A complaint about the unfair appointment was made by the school's manager.
After looking into it, officials found problems and decided to register a case, called an FIR, against the teacher.
Because so much time has passed, investigating what really happened so long ago can be difficult.
But now the former teacher may have to answer questions about how he got his job nearly four decades ago.
Dinesh Chandra, a 60-year-old assistant teacher at a government-aided school in Agra, faces an FIR over alleged fraud in his job appointment.
Chandra was appointed around 1985-86 at Kaviratna Shri Satyanarayan Inter College in Tora.
He retired in 2021 and had already received his retirement benefits when the irregularities came to light.
The inquiry was initiated after college manager Anil Kumar Sharma complained about irregularities in the appointment.
Officials allege Chandra's brother, Mahendra Singh Lavania, then the college's principal and a selection committee member, helped him secure the job.
