The Bihar government plans to dismiss more than 3,000 school teachers accused of obtaining their jobs using fake degrees and forged documents, a minister says, according to reports. The decision follows an investigation into teacher recruitment conducted between 2006 and 2015. The government’s action includes initiating criminal proceedings against those responsible and recovering salaries paid to the teachers during their period of service, as reported by The Hindu. Scroll.in similarly links the disciplinary steps to the recruitment window under review and the allegations that documentation submitted during hiring was falsified. The reports describe the measure as a dismissal of the affected teachers, rather than a disciplinary suspension, and indicate that the state will move through both administrative and legal routes. No additional details about the number of teachers formally charged, the specific documents involved, or the evidence cited in the investigation are provided in the excerpts, but the accounts agree that the total exceeds 3,000 and is tied to recruitment in the 2006–2015 period.
