“Everyone was cheating using notes and mobile phones, but I didn’t have anything. The teacher told me to cheat because there was little time left in the paper; she even gave me the phone herself. Later, she framed me," the girl told her parents in the vlog shared by Maaz Safder on his Youtube channel.

The girl's parents said that the video was "pre-planned" to tarnish their daughter's reputation, pointing out that cheating is typically done discreetly, but she was forced to do so.”

Last year, a video of a government teacher in Sanghar had surfaced on social media, showing him demanding money in exchange for helping students cheat during an exam.

During a practical exam at a higher secondary school in Chak No 40, Sanghar, teacher Ikhlaq Deen Pathan was filmed collecting money from students.

According to reports, students claimed that Pathan demanded Rs500 each in exchange for facilitating cheating during the exam.

After the video emerged in the media, the education department of Sindh promptly took notice of the incident and suspended the teacher.
