A government education officer in Uttar Pradesh has been suspended for allegedly posting an objectionable message on social media about the Pulwama terror attack, officials said Friday.
Basic Shiksha Adhikari DK Yadav was suspended on the recommendation of district authorities here and the Uttar Pradesh government has taken steps in this connection, according to Additional District Magistrate Amit Kumar.
Yadav was suspended for allegedly posting an objectionable message on social media about the Pulwama incident on Thursday, the officials said.
Some people also staged a protest outside Yadav's office over his comment and demanded strict action against him.
Forty CRPF personnel were killed in the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district on February 14.
