The employment of an engineer has been terminated by the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL) due to his expression of admiration for the deceased Al Qaeda leader, Osama Bin Laden.
M. Devraj, the Chairman of UPPCL, issued the termination order for Gautam after a probe committee found him guilty of “engaging in an act that is against the nation and has damaged the reputation of the department.”
His colleagues told reporters then that Gautam used to idolise the former al-Qaeda chief as he had an engineering degree.
The inquiry committee of DVVNL levelled several other charges against Gautam such as loss of revenue, doing direct correspondence with the MD, use of indecent behaviour with senior officers and laxity in departmental work, etc.
The inquiry committee also said that when Gautam was asked to answer all the allegations, he came out with baseless and unsatisfactory replies.
Meanwhile, Gautam told reporters that if a section of people in the country can consider Godse as their idol, then why can’t he consider Osama bin Laden as his idol.
