A 50-year old government schoolteacher, posted in Dadri of Gautama Buddha Nagar, has been suspended for her objectionable remarks on social media against actor Shabana Azmi.
According to Basic Shiksha Adhikari Bal Mukund Prasad, Mridula Shukla, an assistant teacher of Upper Primary School, Khagoda Block, Dadri town, GB Nagar, had posted an objectionable social media comment against actor Shabana Azmi when she had met with a serious road accident at Raigad on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway on January 18. The teacher had reportedly wished for death of Shabana, who sustained grievous injuries.
According to Prasad, the teacher’s behavior was in violation of the 1956 service guidelines for Uttar Pradesh government employees.
He said the teacher was being suspended with immediate effect and disciplinary action would be taken against her.
