Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha has suspended three circle officers for allegedly spreading misleading information related to an ongoing administrative issue.

The suspended officers were posted in Araria, Patna Sadar and East Champaran. Officials said the action was taken after reports suggested that incorrect information had been shared with the media, creating confusion.

The Deputy CM emphasised that more than half of the officials remained on duty and warned against disruption of government work during a crucial period that includes financial closing and census-related activities.

A three-member committee has been formed to investigate the matter and examine the conduct of the officers involved.
