Teacher in Madhya Pradesh falsely cites student's death to take leave was suspended on Wednesday.
Mauganj: Authorities have suspended a government school teacher in Madhya Pradesh's Mauganj district after he took leave citing the death of a student who was alive, officials said on Wednesday.
The accused, Hiralal Patel, worked at a government primary school in Chigrika Tola of the district, they said.
Patel took leave on November 27 and noted in the attendance register that a class 3 student of the school died and he was going to attend the funeral, according to the officials.
When the student's father got the information about the teacher's note, he made a complaint to the district collector as his son was alive and healthy, they said.
Mauganj Collector Ajay Shrivastava said Patel has been suspended and a probe ordered into the matter.
