Karwar: Uttara Kannada Deputy Commissioner SS Nakul, on Saturday relieved Deputy Director of Land Records, Uttara Kannada district BS Venugopal, for alleged indecency at workplace.

Although the office of Deputy Commissioner, Uttara Kannada, confirmed the relieving of Venugopal, but the officials refused to confirm over the phone call to Varthabharati, the grounds on which he was relieved. Local media reports claimed that Venugopal was relieved over indecency at workplace.

According to the reports, an Assistant Commissioner had sought certain documents from Venugopal, who did not abide by the orders and failed to produce it, thereby causing inconvenience to the assistant commissioner who complained to the Deputy Commissioner, who then relieved Venugopal from the duty.
