Ghaziabad: Two faculty members of the ABES engineering college have been suspended after a controversy erupted when they asked a student to leave the stage as he chanted 'Jai Shri Ram' during an induction ceremony on the campus.
The decision to suspend the faculty members was taken on the recommendation of the high-level committee constituted by the college authority.
Addressing the matter, ABES Director Professor Sanjay Kumar said, "...a high-level inquiry committee was constituted and asked to give its recommendation within 24 hours on the entire matter... its recommendations have come and on the basis of that we are suspending the two faculty members for their inappropriate behaviour."
