The Delhi government on Thursday suspended a senior education department official on the charge of corruption and also registered a police complaint against him, an official statement said.
"On the directions of Education Minister Manish Sisodia, Deputy District Education Officer B.D. Wadhwa has been suspended for involvement in corrupt practices at the Government Boys Senior Secondary School at Hastsal in Uttam Nagar area of west Delhi," the statement said.
