A teacher of Rajuk Uttara Model College has been suspended for setting questions on controversial Facebook personality Sefat Ullah alias "Sefuda".

Johinul Hasan was suspended after controversy flared up over the question paper for the pre-test examination of 10th grade, said Md Ziaul Haque, chairman of Dhaka Education Board and a member of the board of governance of the college.

A five-member probe committee has been formed in this regard, he told The Daily Star.

In the creative section of the question paper on Islam and Moral Education, Sefat Ullah was used as a stimulus in an explanatory passage.
