A senior official of Telangana State Sports School in Hakimpet here, who is facing allegations of sexually harassing some girl students of the institute, was on Sunday placed under suspension by the state government.

The case brings to mind allegations of sexual harassment against Wrestling Federation of India chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Singh by female wrestlers, in which the Delhi police on Friday told a metropolitan court in the national capital that there was enough evidence to put him on trial.
