According to an IANS report, a teacher has lost his job due to his addiction to the mobile game Candy Crush. A teacher has been suspended for playing Candy Crush and talking on the phone while on duty.

According to the report, this incident came to light when district DM Rajendra Pansia reached the school for surprise inspection and found that there were many mistakes in the students’ copies from the first page to the last page. When the teacher’s phone was examined, an app present in it revealed the whole secret.

Actually, that app tracks the hours spent on the phone. It revealed that school teachers spend about 2 hours playing Candy Crush during school time. The DM told local journalists that teachers should focus on checking students’ school work and homework. They should ensure that children get quality education.

It is said that the DM checked 6 pages in the copies of 6 students. He caught 95 mistakes, out of which 9 mistakes were on the first page. The name of the teacher against whom action has been taken is said to be Priyam Goyal.
