ADILABAD: Three persons, including a Physics teacher, have been booked on Thursday for spreading rumours about the leaked SSC Urdu exam paper on March 19. Allegedly, they aimed to falsely implicate a school principal who had ordered the teacher’s transfer.
Adilabad collector Rajarshi Shah and Superintendent of Police (SP) Gaush Alam said that the accused have been identified as Mohammad Mubashir, 38, a post graduate teacher of Physics, Mohammed Asif, and Sayed Kaif, 19, a second-year Inter student.
They said that a police investigation revealed that a man — Mohammad Mubashir — formerly employed at Telangana Minorities Residential Educational Institutions Society (TMREIS), Utnoor, but was ordered to transfer to Ichoda. He, however, chose to leave his position and join an Eklavya model residential school on an outsourcing basis. He reportedly developed resentment towards T Venkata Prasad, the principal of Utnoor TMREIS, for his transfer, and sought to malign his reputation.
It is learnt that on March 19, Mubashir along with Asif orchestrated a plan involving Sayed Kaif to allegedly obtain incriminating evidence against Abdul Sami, a teacher at the Utnoor TMREIS. Kaif, accompanied by another person, Shabad, visited Sami’s residence at 10.30 am while Sami was engaged in note-taking. Kaif captured videos and photos of Sami and sent them to Mubashir via WhatsApp. Subsequently, Mubashir contacted Sami, who confirmed the forthcoming malpractice, alleging that the paper originated from a ZPHS and answers were pre-prepared.
To implicate the principal, Mubashir and Asif resorted to spreading false information on social media, fabricating voice calls, photos and videos purportedly depicting them engaging in Urdu grammar studies at home.
