A jobless teacher Prabeen Karmakar (34) died on Thursday at a rural health centre in Raghunathganj of Murshidabad district.

On 3 April, the apex court in its judgment invalidated appointments of 25,753 teachers, group C and D employees of government-aided schools across the state. They were appointed through a recruitment examination conducted by the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) in 2016.
According to his family sources, he was an assistant teacher of the Amaipara Udbastu Vidyapeeth at Jiaganj in the district and got the job after qualifying the recruitment test.
He was psychologically upset since the court cancelled their appointments, the sources said.
