District's Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA) Bhupendra Narayan Singh said, "A total of 106 teachers deputed for poll duty in the general elections were found to be absent on the polling day." "An explanation was sought from these teachers and all of them cited medical grounds as the reason for absence and submitted medical reports.
A probe was conducted and 80 of the reports were found to be fake while 26 were authentic," said the BSA.
Based on the probe, the district administration has ordered a probe against these teachers.
"Adverse entries will be made in the service records of these teachers and a departmental inquiry has been ordered against them," said Singh.
