Among them are government teachers, while the rest are former employees of Narayana educational institutions. They agreed that all this was done on Narayana’s orders. Under Narayana’s orders, the staff of the company along with representatives of some other corporate educational institutions committed malpractice.
In Narayana, their aim is to give district and state level marks to a student who gets moderate marks and to pass a student who fails. For this, Narayana School Vice Principal Giridhar Reddy repeatedly gave cash to government teacher Pawan Kumar Reddy. Pawan went to his friend Somu’s invigilator’s room, took a photo of the question paper and sent it to Giridhar Reddy on WhatsApp. Giridhar Reddy posted this on WhatsApp to Narayana School Dean Balagangadhar and others.
The answers were designed in the Narayana school head office itself. After doing so, Balagangadhar shared it with Narayana’s head office via WhatsApp. From there the invigilators at the test centers, the water boys, reach the students through the ayas. Narayana plans to increase admissions in educational institutions if good results are obtained. The case is under investigation. Several key technical pieces have been collected. If convicted, he faces up to ten years in prison.
