A viral video shows an IAS officer in Madhya Pradesh slapping a youth for allegedly urinating near the Narmada River at Barman Ghat. The officer, identified as Gajendra Nagesh, also reportedly threatened an elderly priest who intervened and cited a lack of public toilets. The incident has sparked outrage online, with many criticizing the officer's conduct and alleged abuse of power, while some defend the need to protect the river's sanctity. An official statement from the administration is pending.
