Tezpur police on Sunday detained a man who tried to pose as his wife in the Assam Education Board’s High School Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) exam. The accused, identified as Sadeq Ali, a Political Science teacher at Vallabh Bhai Patel Higher Secondary School in Dalgaon, allegedly registered for the exam under his wife Sajida Ali’s name and planned to take the test posing as her.
Giving details about the incident in X, Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu said, “A proxy candidate incident was reported at Government Girls’ High School, where Sadek Ali, a teacher at Vallabhbhai Patel HS School, Dalgaon, attempted to appear for the TET cum Recruitment exam today using fraudulent documents under the name Sajid Ali. Sadek Ali had applied twice with two identities: one as Sadek Ali (Male) and another as Sajid Ali (Female). He used Sajid’s fake ID and admit card to assist his wife, Sajida Begum, as Sajid’s seat was adjacent to hers. Sadek Ali was apprehended before appearing for the exam, and the police have registered a case.”
