An influential youth organisation in Meghalaya has sought a fresh review of teachers declared “tainted” in the 2008-09 lower primary recruitment case after the Meghalaya High Court quashed proceedings against the key accused, including a former minister in the MDA government, in the alleged ‘white ink scam’.
The LP teacher recruitment exercise had triggered statewide controversy after allegations surfaced that score sheets were tampered with using white ink to alter marks and favour certain candidates.
A CBI inquiry, followed by state-level investigations, identified a group of candidates as “tainted”, leading to cancellations of appointments, terminations and stalled careers for many.
