BHOPAL: A video of a senior IAS officer in Madhya Pradesh in a compromising position with a woman much younger to him has gone viral. Soon after the video came out on social media on Sunday, the administration went into a panicky situation.

However, the authenticity of the video hasn’t been confirmed. The woman seen in the video is said to be a proprietor of a non-governmental organisation based in the city.

Chief Minister Kamal Nath has reportedly ordered a probe into the sleaze CD controversy and the officer is said to have been removed from his current posting. There are also hints that he has gone on a leave.

Another officer from Mantralaya said that no action could be initiated against the officer concerned unless the woman in question raises a complaint with a competent authority. The said officer could only be removed from the post on moral and administrative grounds, the officer said on condition of anonymity.

Dr Govind Singh, the General Administration Dept Minister told the media, "we are planning to get the video verified and then any action would be taken, that too by the Chief Minister,

The police are also reportedly in search of the woman seen in the video.
