Express Video Service

Karnataka Director General of Police (Civil Rights Enforcement) K Ramachandra Rao has reportedly been suspended following a viral video. The action comes hours after a video allegedly showing him in a compromising situation with a woman inside his office during duty hours surfaced on social media.

Rao "has acted in an obscene manner which is unbecoming of a Government Servant and also causing embarrassment to the Government," the suspension order read.

The order further said the matter was examined by the state government, which found that the officer's conduct amounted to violation of Rule-3 of the All India Services (Conduct) Rules, 1968.
