The Chhattisgarh government on Thursday denied that money was taken in the Education Department for posting teachers in the state.
A false allegation has been made through a fake complaint supposedly signed by the Deputy Director, Directorate of Public Instruction, and it has been circulated on social media, an official statement said.
A case under Section 419 of Indian Penal Code (IPC) has been lodged against unknown persons with the police on the outskirts of Raipur and a probe is on, it added.
The Deputy Director, Ashutosh Chavre, said in a statement that for the last two months, fake complaint letters are being prepared by unknown persons by using his name, designation and seal.
This is then sent to public representatives and various institutions, the statement said.
