According to a Hindustan Times report, the video is said to have been recorded on March 21 this year. However, the video surfaced online only on Thursday, following which the Basic Education Department, Agra, set up an investigation.
¡°The songs to which the teachers were seen dancing were not educative.

¡°All five assistant teachers and the headteacher of the primary school at Sadhan in Achhnera block were asked to submit their clarifications. Four teachers replied, but one did not,¡± Basic Shiksha Adhikari in-charge Brajraj Singh told PTI.
However, the clarifications provided by the teachers were not satisfactory and they were suspended for harming the image of the Basic Education Department. They were said to be unethical.
