IAS officer transferred after a video with woman goes viral

An obscene video, purportedly featuring a senior IAS officer and a woman, is doing rounds on social media here, prompting the Madhya Pradesh government to transfer him. The officer was shunted out of the General Administration Department after the video surfaced, a source said.

However, there was no official confirmation about the same. The report about the video was published by a local newspaper a few days ago.

The transfer order was issued on Monday night after office hours, a source in the administration said. Public relations department commissioner P Narhari declined to make any comment on the issue when contacted.

"It is the government's prerogative to transfer any official," he said..
