Headmistress, teacher booked for forgery

According to police, Tupe on May 29, last year, had issued show-cause notices to some of the school teachers demanding an explanation as to why action should not be taken against them for running private tuition classes in contravention to the prevailing rules.

When Tupe was asked about her action, at a school management meeting held subsequently, she told the management that she was bound for an action as per an order issued by the Education Officer (EO). She even forwarded a photocopy of the EO’sorder to the management.

On an enquiry by some of the management members, it was found that the ZP EO had issued no such letter as was forwarded to them by Tupe.
