Mother's rage leads to discipline probe

A deputy Party chief in the city of Guang'an, Sichuan province, is being probed for allegedly serious violation of discipline and law, Sichuan Commission for Discipline Inspection and Sichuan Supervisory Commission said on Friday.

Netizens overwhelmingly applauded the anti-graft authorities for their swift response to their demand to investigate him.

Yan Chunfeng, 50, deputy secretary of the Guang'an municipal committee of the Communist Party of China, was in the spotlight on May 10 after a conflict involving his daughter's kindergarten teacher in Chengdu, Sichuan, was made known online.
