Suspended official claims 'setup'

An official in Fuzhou, capital of Fujian province, has been suspended after a series of salacious photos taken in a nightclub, went viral on the Internet.

Twenty-six photos were uploaded in a BBS post titled "Enviable nightlife of Mr Lin, deputy director of the housing administration bureau of Jin'an district, Fuzhou," on Tuesday morning. The photos, showing the man grabbing breasts and buttocks and locking lips with different women, have been widely circulated on the blogosphere.

The man was later confirmed to be Lin Zonghui by the bureau.
