BAREILLY: The Uttar Pradesh government suspended the deputy general manager and secretary of District Cooperative Bank for paying interest to Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan's Jauhar Trust and Rampur Public School on Friday.
The action was taken following a complaint by a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Rampur, Akash Saxena. Saxena, in his letter to CM Yogi Adityanath on September 11, alleged that the DCB had made unauthorised interest payments to Jauhar Trust and Rampur Public School in violation of the bank's by-laws.
