In Bijnor district, Uttar Pradesh, four teachers, including the acting principal, were transferred following a controversy over alleged religious bias at a government school. The incident began when videos surfaced showing teacher Tanveer Ayesha removing tilak from Hindu students' foreheads. A subsequent inquiry confirmed the allegations, leading to the suspension of Ayesha and another teacher, Usha, while Mukhtar Ahmed Ansari and acting principal Rajendra Kumar faced salary increment denials. The District Magistrate stated that these actions were necessary to combat the spreading of communal sentiments among students. Ayesha has denied the charges, claiming she has an unblemished teaching record over 18 years. The disciplinary actions reflect concerns about the teachers' influence on young minds and communal harmony within the school.
