In a sweeping disciplinary action exposing financial irregularities, administrative lapses and misconduct within government schools, Sagar Division Commissioner Anil Suchari has ordered the immediate suspension of two principals and one teacher from three districts. 

The officials have been punished for alleged financial mismanagement, irregular recruitment of guest teachers, violation of hostel rules, misconduct with staff and repeated disciplinary issues, highlighting serious concerns about governance and oversight in parts of the education department.

The action follows inquiry reports submitted by district authorities and education department officials, which found prima facie evidence of irregularities and misconduct.

Suspension of Bhangarh School In-Charge Principal

Deepchandra Chaudhary, in-charge principal of Government Higher Secondary School, Bhangarh in Bina block of Sagar district, has been suspended following serious allegations of financial and administrative irregularities.

The action was taken on the proposal of the Joint Director of Public Instruction, Sagar Division, after an inquiry conducted by a team constituted by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Bina.

The inquiry report confirmed several irregularities, including:

  • Serious financial irregularities in school management

  • Irregular recruitment of guest teachers in violation of rules

  • Unauthorized entry into Kasturba Girls’ Hostel at Bhangarh under inappropriate circumstances

  • Indecent behaviour with female teachers

  • Illegal appointment of a hostel warden in a hostel run under the Samagra Shiksha scheme

Teacher Suspended in Niwari for Indiscipline

In Niwari district, Higher Secondary School teacher Neetika Tiwari, posted at Government Higher Secondary School, Puchhikar Guwan, has also been suspended for persistent indiscipline and disputes with colleagues.

According to the district administration, an inquiry conducted by a committee formed by the District Education Officer found that:

  • The teacher frequently engaged in disputes with school staff

  • The behaviour caused mental harassment among colleagues

  • Academic work in the school was being affected

  • Her conduct was not cooperative or harmonious with the staff

Khajuraho Principal Suspended for Recruitment Irregularities

Another action was taken in Chhatarpur district, where Principal Ganesh Yadav, posted at Government Higher Secondary School, Khajuraho, has been suspended over irregularities.

An inquiry ordered by the district collector revealed that while serving as principal at Government Higher Secondary School, Daharra, during academic sessions 2018–19 and 2019–20, Yadav allegedly:

  • Manipulated the guest teacher selection process

  • Committed financial irregularities during administrative operations

What the Incident Reveals About the Education Department

The suspensions underscore recurring governance issues in parts of the school education system, particularly related to guest teacher recruitment, financial transparency, hostel management and staff discipline.

The cases indicate a pattern of irregular appointments, weak institutional oversight and delayed disciplinary action, often detected only after formal complaints trigger inquiries by district administrations.

Officials say the latest action signals a tighter administrative crackdown on misconduct and financial mismanagement in government schools across the Sagar division.


Key Points

  • 3 education officials suspended across Sagar division

  • Charges include financial irregularities, misconduct, indiscipline and illegal recruitment

  • Inquiry reports submitted by district-level investigation teams

  • Action ordered by Sagar Division Commissioner

  • Case exposes systemic loopholes in guest teacher appointments and school administration

 Noted for his selfless social service and humanitarian work at the grassroots level, Paritosh Katare—popularly known among residents as Sintu Katare—has been honoured by the district administration for his outstanding public service. 

On March 6, Collector Sandeep G.R. presented him with a certificate of appreciation, acknowledging his tireless efforts in helping people during emergencies and crises.

The honour was originally scheduled to be conferred on Republic Day, but was delayed by nearly two months due to a technical issue related to the name printed on the certificate. 

The administration had prepared the certificate in his official name, Paritosh, while he is widely known in the city as Sintu, causing confusion when his name was called on stage.

Sintu Katare has long been regarded as a symbol of compassion in the city, often stepping forward in situations where others hesitate. From performing the last rites of unclaimed bodies to rescuing victims in road accidents and fire incidents, he has consistently placed himself at risk to help others.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, he played a crucial role in assisting migrant workers and distributing food and essential supplies. In one notable instance during the crisis, he helped arrange the marriages of two daughters of an elderly couple who feared they might not live long enough to see the ceremonies completed.

Collector Sandeep G.R. praised Katare’s dedication and also informed him about the Madhya Pradesh Government’s “Rahveer” scheme, which honours citizens who help victims of road accidents.

In a sweeping action against errant passenger buses, authorities in Madhya Pradesh have cancelled the registration of two buses and ordered them to be scrapped, sending a strong warning to violators across the state.

Acting on strict directives from the Transport Commissioner, Gwalior, and the District Collector, the Regional Transport Officer (RTO) in Sagar launched an intensified enforcement drive targeting overloading, overcharging of passengers, violation of permit conditions, and tax defaults.

On March 3, 2026, a surprise inspection was conducted on the Bhopal and Narsinghpur routes, during which 13 passenger buses were checked. Four buses were found flouting multiple safety and regulatory norms, including:

  • Absence of mandatory documents

  • Violation of permit conditions

  • Overcharging passengers

  • No High Security Registration Plates (HSRP)

  • Drivers and conductors not in the prescribed uniform

  • Missing radium reflector tapes

  • Lack of fire extinguishers and other safety equipment

Authorities imposed fines amounting to ₹10,500 under provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.

Tax defaulters have been urged to clear pending dues immediately, failing which strict action will be taken under the Madhya Pradesh Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, 1991.

Officials made it clear: the crackdown is ongoing, and violators will face uncompromising action.
