A deputy collector in Tripura has been suspended on charges of forgery, an official said here Thursday.
"Pintu Lal Das, a deputy collector of Sadar sub-division, has been suspended for putting the name of a woman government school teacher in his voter identity card as his wife. After an inquiry, the government has suspended him," a Tripura government official told reporters.
He said there was also an allegation that Das, a Tripura civil service officer, had an extra-marital relationship with the woman.
