Jaipur: Two staff members of Government Senior Secondary School, Kishanganj, have been attached to the District Education Officer’s office after a video allegedly showing them engaging in “objectionable acts” during school hours went viral.

An order issued by the District Education Officer (Secondary), Baran, on August 24 names Simran Kalra, an English lecturer, and Akshat Vaishnav, a laboratory assistant, in connection with the viral video.

The department has not reached any final conclusion in the matter. The inquiry will determine the facts and whether any action is warranted.
