Further, the SIC investigation into the matter of illegal appointments in Changland district is ongoing and all facts of the case are being investigated in detail.

The first arrest in the case was made three days after the investigating agency had conducted raids at multiple locations in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam in connection with the alleged illegal appointment of teachers in 2023.

The state government in June 2023 terminated all 28 primary teachers following the recommendations of a three-member Fact Finding Committee constituted by state Education Minister Taba Tedir after allegations of illegal appointments were made by a local students’ body.
