In a major development in the bogus teachers scam, the Maharashtra government has announced a statewide Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe. School Education Minister Deepak Kesarkar made the announcement following growing concerns over the scale of the fraud, which allegedly involves the use of forged documents to secure teaching jobs across multiple districts. The SIT will be tasked with identifying fake appointments, tracking the network behind the scam, and recommending strict action against the accused. The move comes amid mounting pressure from activists and opposition leaders demanding a transparent and thorough investigation.
