Jammu and Kashmir IAS Officer Faces Allegations of Verbal Abuse Against Woman Officer
A video from an October 14 virtual review meeting in Jammu and Kashmir shows IAS officer Kumar Rajeev Ranjan using derogatory language toward JKAS officer Beenish Wani, including calling her "bloody shit" and threatening suspension. The confrontation centered on the role of the National Rural Livelihoods Mission in departmental work. The incident has sparked condemnation from JKAS officers and employee unions, who demand an impartial inquiry and protection for Wani. The video’s authenticity has not been independently verified, and Ranjan has suggested it may be altered.
