Jammu and Kashmir Orders Inquiry After IAS Officer Abuses Woman JKAS Officer in Meeting
A senior IAS officer in Jammu and Kashmir, Kumar Rajeev Ranjan, faced widespread criticism after a video showed him verbally abusing JKAS officer Beenish Wani during a virtual review meeting on Mission YUVA. Ranjan used derogatory language and threatened suspension, prompting political leaders across parties and the JKAS fraternity to demand accountability and an impartial inquiry. The Jammu and Kashmir government ordered a 15-day probe, appointing Mandeep Kaur as inquiry officer. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah condemned the conduct and assured protection for Wani against retaliation. The incident highlighted administrative tensions and limitations under the Union Territory status.
