A petition has been filed at a court in Madhya Pradesh’s Indore against IAS officer Santosh Kumar Verma, days after his remarks related to reservation and the Brahmin community created a stir in the State and outside.
Shailendra Dwivedi, an Indore-based lawyer, filed a plea before the Judicial Magistrate First Class seeking directions for the police to register an FIR against Mr. Verma while alleging that his statement was “vulgar, obscene and cheap”.
M.P. govt.’s show-cause notice to IAS officer over controversial remarks; brahmin bodies seek FIR
At a regional event of the M.P. Anusuchit Jati-Janjati Adhikari Evam Karmachari Sangh (AJJAKS) on November 23 in Bhopal, Mr. Verma had said, “Reservation should continue until a Brahmin gives away his daughter to my son, or (she) has a relationship with him, if it’s only about the economic aspect.”
He had been appointed the new State president of the body at the event.
