The SHO of a Pilibhit police station has been suspended on the orders of UP Chief Minister Mayawati shortly after the Election Commission took action against four senior officials in connection with the anti- Muslim speeches of BJP's Lok Sabha candidate Varun Gandhi.

The chief minister's order came after DGP Vikram Singh and Principal Secretary, Home, Kunwar Fateh Bahadur, who had been asked by Mayawati to look into the case, submitted their report, a state government release said last night.
