Azamgarh DIG, SP suspended

Special Correspondent

LUCKNOW: Five days after communal violence in Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh claimed the life of one person, the Mayawati government on Thursday suspended Azamgarh Range DIG Abhimanyu Tripathi and SP V.K. Garg, on charges of dereliction of duty and ignoring directives for making effective police arrangements. Violence and arson erupted in Azamgarh after the convoy of BJP MP from Gorakhpur, Yogi Adityanath, was attacked. Earlier the MP’s supporters had raised objectionable slogans in the Muslim-dominated Takiya locality of the eastern UP town.

The MP was going to address the ‘Virat Hindu Chetna Rally’, organized by the Hindu Yuva Vahini in the local DAV College.

Addressing a press conference, Director General of Police Vikram Singh and Principal Secretary, Home, Kunwar Fateh Bahadur said Mr. Adityanath has a past of making objectionable speeches.
