A significant development has emerged from the Runnisaidpur block of Sitamarhi district. Following an investigation by the Vigilance Investigation Bureau, Patna, three separate First Information Reports (FIRs) have been lodged at Mahindwara Police Station against three teachers who were appointed in two primary schools based on forged certificates.

During a vigilance inquiry, conducted under the orders of the Patna High Court, it was discovered that all three teachers had submitted fake Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) certificates at the time of their appointment. Verification by the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB), Patna, confirmed that their mark sheets were entirely fraudulent. Action has been taken against them on charges of fraud, creating forged documents, and illegally obtaining employment through criminal conspiracy.

The teachers against whom FIRs have been filed include Khushboo Kumari, working at Primary School Kunkun Rai Tola (Fulwaria), a resident of Kundal (Mahindwara, Sitamarhi), and Rajlakshmi Yadav, also working at Primary School Kunkun Rai Tola (Fulwaria), a resident of Ganeshpur (Ahiyapur, Muzaffarpur). Additionally, Sanjay Kumar, working at Primary School Kundal, a resident of Ganeshpur (Ahiyapur, Muzaffarpur), has also been booked.

The FIR, lodged based on the application of Sub-Inspector Hakeemuddin of the Vigilance Investigation Bureau, states that undue financial benefit from government funds was obtained through fake mark sheets, which constitutes a cognizable offense. The police are conducting further investigations to identify other unknown individuals involved in this syndicate of fraud.
