Bhopal: Two days after a video showing Chhattishgarh’s Surajpur district collector slapping a youth went viral on social media platforms, another video has now surfaced from Madhya Pradesh’s Shajapur district wherein a female office is seen slapping a boy for violating COVID-19 norms.
The officer, identified as Additional District Collector of Shajapur district, Manjusha Vikrant Rai has drawn criticism from social media users ever since the video went viral. She is being criticized for breaching tenets of civility.
As per reports, the incident took place two days ago when Shajapur additional district collector Manjusha Vikrant Rai was out with her team to ensure implementation of ‘corona curfew’, ordered by the state government to curb the spread of COVID-19 infection. She noticed a shoe shop open and flared up in rage.
In the viral social media video, the woman officer and some policemen can be seen questioning a man – who was present inside the shop – and ordering him to pull down the shop’s shutter. Seconds later, a boy enters the frame, and the woman officer – who was visibly extremely furious – slaps him.
The ADM can be heard asking the boy, “Ghar kahan hai tera (where is your house)?” When the boy told her his address, she accused him of lying and slapped him. Following this, a policeman can be seen rushing towards the boy and threatening to hit him with a baton.
Meanwhile, the collector of Chhattisgarh's Surajpur district, Ranbir Sharma, was removed from the post after a viral video showed him slapping a man and throwing his mobile phone for alleged COVID-19 norms violation.
In Shajapur MP, Additional Collector Manjusha Vikrant Rai slap a Muslim boy who presents in the shoe shop.

Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
