A day after a fake doctor was arrested by the Virar police, another similar incident came to light on Friday when the Vasai police arrested a female teacher from the school she was teaching at. The police said the accused had been illegally teaching for the last 20 years, after having submitted fake degrees. When the school management realised the degrees were fake, they registered an FIR.

The accused, identified as Maria Dias, was teaching at the Holy Cross English High School at Nirmal area in Vasai. Dias had been teaching English. In October, the school principal Father Michael Tuscano found out that Dias didn’t have a BEd degree.
