Sources said that these school bags were provided under Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) few years ago to be distributed among the poor students but the concerned officials/ teachers instead providing to the students dumped these bags to be sold in the black market for the personnel financial gains. This is very much clear when inspector Manzoor Kohli, SHO, Kotranka said, "Few days back after information about selling of school bags in the market by the government employees was received and accordingly inspection was carried out but without any recovery of objectionable material". He added, apprehending trouble after police investigation those in possession of these school bags, abandoned them in the field where the garbage was dumped.

Lal Hussain, Chief Education Officer when contacted said,"It was a very serious matter and needs detailed investigation. Committee will be constituted to identify the officials who were given charge to distribute these bags free among the students under their area".
