Jaipur, May 28 (PTI) A section officer of the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education was suspended for indiscipline after he wore shorts to the office and allegedly misbehaved with the staff when some of them objected to his attire.
Secretary of the Board Kailash Chandra Sharma said that Rakesh Kumar Tekchandani, section officer in the academics branch, reached the office on Monday wearing a T-shirt and shorts and "started creating nuisance". When other employees objected, he misbehaved with them.
Taking disciplinary action, he was suspended.
"Today, he came to the office and created a nuisance. He entered the chamber of Director (Academic) Rakesh Swami and questioned why he was suspended.
