Lucknow, August 17
Suspended IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal has reportedly pleaded not guilty to charges of “poor administrative acumen and lack of foresight” into the demolition of the wall of a mosque at Kadalpur village in Gautam Buddha Nagar.

In her reply to the chargesheet served by the Uttar Pradesh Government, she said she had carried out her duty to the best of her ability and sought her suspension order revoked. Nagpal, SDM of GB Nagar (Sadar), was suspended on July 28 for allegedly facilitating the demolition of the wall on gram sabha land.
