As the Department of School Education and Literacy suspended K.S. Prasad, First Division Clerk (FDA) of the Bengaluru division Deputy Director’s office on Monday, after he was arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in connection with the high school teachers’ recruitment scam, more skeletons have started to tumble out of the closet.
The illegally recruited teachers, it has turned out, have been in service for years — in one instance, for a decade — before the controversy came out in the open.
Prasad is the prime accused in the scam and the CID arrested him on September 6. Before him, 12 accused teachers were arrested on the same day. Department sources said three more such cases have also come to light on Tuesday and inquiry is on.
