Uttar Pradesh Police said a Pakistani woman has been booked for allegedly forging documents to secure a job as an assistant teacher in a government primary school, officials said on Friday.
The woman had been employed as a teacher at Government Primary School, Madhopur since 2015, they said. She was terminated from her job last year following a report by the sub-divisional magistrate.
A case was filed against her following a complaint by the Block Education Officer of Fatehganj Paschimi, Additional Superintendent of Police (Northern) Mukesh Chandra Mishra said.
“Shumaila Khan is accused of using forged certificates to obtain the position of an assistant teacher at the Government Primary School in Madhopur,” Mishra said.
“Khan had presented a domicile certificate issued by the SDM of Sadar, Rampur, during her appointment process. However, an investigation by the SDM revealed that the certificate was fabricated, and Shumaila Khan was confirmed to be a Pakistani citizen. The investigation established that she concealed her identity and submitted false documents to secure the job,” he said.
Block Education Officer Bhanu Shankar said Khan was appointed an assistant teacher at Madhopur primary school in 2015 based on documents that later turned out to be forged.
According to the FIR, concerns were raised about the authenticity of these documents during the verification process. The SDM’s report clarified that the domicile certificate was improperly issued based on false information. Consequently, the certificate was revoked.
The Education Department sought clarification from Khan on multiple occasions, but each inquiry reaffirmed the use of forged documents.
