Private schools need an NOC from the Maharashtra government's education department if they wish to get affiliated to a board other than the state board.
The state's education department had written to the deputy director of education that the NOCs provided by these schools were fake.
"We received a letter from the education department stating that the NOCs had not been issued by their office. It asked us to probe the matter and file a police complaint," said an official.
A First Information Report (FIR) was registered with the Samarth police station in the city under sections 465 (forgery), 468 (forgery for cheating) and 471 (using as genuine a forged document ) of the Indian Penal Code against an unidentified person who provided the bogus NOCs, said a police officer.
