A year on, a Kandivli-based teacher who had bought her Bachelors of Education (B.Ed.) degree from one of the touts exposed by mid-day is untraceable. Santacruz cops investigating the case have informed this to the zonal deputy commissioner of police.

mid-day had exposed on March 2 coaching centres that were selling B.Ed. degrees to people who never had to attend classes. In another report, on March 4, mid-day exposed Bhavya Bandrekar who was then teaching English and History at Chandulal Nanavati Vinay Mandir, Vile Parle. She was employed there in 2007 and continues to be associated with the school, said sources.
