Patna Additional District Magistrate K K Singh, who beat up a teaching job aspirant during a protest on August 22, was removed from the post with immediate effect on Wednesday.
In the video, Singh could be seen assaulting Anisur Rehman with a stick while the youngster held the Tricolour.
'Lathi charge was done to control students taking out a protest march in Patna wherein the ADM was thrashing a candidate. Inquiry committee is made and strict actions will be taken against him if found guilty,' Education Minister Tejashwi Yadav had said after the video went viral.
