Farrukhabad (UP), June 1 (UNI) A sub-divisional officer (SDO) was suspended with immediate effect on Wednesday in connection with picture of a Osama bin Laden, which was pasted on the wall of the office of the power department in Nawabganj town, which was later removed.
Official sources said as the District Magistrate Sanjay Kumar Singh got the information that SDO Ravindra Prakash Gautam had pasted the picture of the slain terrorist in the waiting room of the office, he directed the power department officers to conduct an inquiry and inform the senior officials.
