Following mid-day's exposés on the sale of Mumbai University's Bachelors of Education (B. Ed.) degrees by a few coaching centres, one of our readers approached us with information about a benefactor — Bhavya Bandrekar, who has been teaching English and History at Chandulal Nanavati Vinay Mandir, Vile Parle, since 2007.

The source said Bandrekar, a Kandivli resident, had acquired her degree illegally in 2018, but it was declared null and void in October last year after a Maharashtra State Board (MSB) official informed the Mumbai University (MU) about the fraud. However, she continues to teach at the school.
