New Delhi: Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police has summoned six teachers for questioning as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged cheating and financial irregularities involving the prominent coaching institute FIITJEE.

According to police sources, the teachers were formerly associated with FIITJEE but left after several of its centres began shutting down. They are now employed at other educational institutions. Investigators plan to question them about the circumstances surrounding the closures, the terms of their resignations, and whether they were owed any pending salaries at the time. Crucially, the EOW aims to determine whether the teachers had any knowledge of financial mismanagement or irregular practices within the organisation.”They earlier informed us that they were occupied with student examinations, so they will be questioned next week,” a police source said.

Earlier in the probe, EOW officers questioned two centre heads, an accountant, and a senior executive of the company. These individuals were extensively interrogated about alleged financial irregularities, the organisational structure, and fund movements. Investigators are working to establish whether they had prior knowledge of the abrupt centre closures.”We questioned them about the alleged misappropriation of funds and the overall operations of the institute. Their statements are currently being verified,” the official added.As part of the inquiry, police have requested detailed transaction data from 48 bank accounts linked to FIITJEE to scrutinise potential financial discrepancies. In a precautionary move, lookout circulars (LOCs) were issued against four senior officials of the institute. According to police sources, the LOCs were necessary due to the volume of complaints and concerns about the possible diversion of funds. Officials said that “since collecting and verifying documents is a lengthy process, the LOCs were necessary to prevent potential evasion.“The EOW registered a case in March under sections related to criminal breach of trust, cheating, criminal conspiracy, and common intention.”The allegations indicate that FIITJEE Coaching Institute misled students and parents through false advertisements, exaggerated success claims, and deceptive marketing tactics. Despite collecting substantial course fees, the Institute failed to deliver the promised services, ultimately shutting down operations abruptly in mid-January 2025 without prior notice,” Delhi Police statement read.Of the 189 complainants who reported financial fraud and operational failures, statements from 111 have been recorded so far. To trace the suspected misuse of funds, the EOW has also obtained documents from the Registrar of Companies (ROC), which are currently under review for inconsistencies.
