Teacher Attempts to Bribe Mathura BSA, Officer Expels Him and Issues Notice

Mathura, Uttar Pradesh – A teacher’s attempt to bribe the District Basic Education Officer (BSA) in Mathura has caused a stir in the education department. The BSA not only rejected the bribe but also had the teacher removed from his office, issuing an official notice in the process. This incident has become the topic of intense discussion within the department.

The Incident:
The incident dates back to 24th April 2025, when the then District Basic Education Officer conducted a surprise inspection at the Primary School, Nagla Taj, in the Baldev block. During the inspection, the teacher in charge, Saran Sujan, who was serving as the Headmaster, was found absent. In response, the BSA immediately suspended him and ordered the Block Education Officer (BEO) of Raya to investigate the matter and submit a report. The BEO, after investigation, issued a notice to Saran Sujan, giving him seven days to present his side of the story.

The Bribe Attempt:
On 5th January 2026, while working in her office, the current BSA, Ratan Kirti, was approached by teacher Saran Sujan. He pressured her to reinstate him by offering a bribe. In a shocking turn of events, Sujan sat on the floor near the BSA’s desk and attempted to offer a bribe in exchange for his reinstatement.

When BSA Ratan Kirti realized what was happening, she immediately called for her staff and had the teacher removed from her office. Sujan was then issued a notice and directed to face departmental action. The BSA also reported the entire incident to the state government.

The Aftermath:
Following this incident, the education department is now on high alert, particularly regarding teachers who attempt to use bribes for transfers, postings, and reinstatements. It is believed that the department is preparing a list of such officers and teachers who fail to reach their schools on time, with potential actions being taken against them in the near future.
