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.
