The Karnataka government has suspended Director General of Police (DGP) K Ramachandra Rao amid a controversy surrounding a viral video that allegedly shows him engaging in inappropriate behavior with a woman at his office. The clip, which has been widely shared on social media, sparked widespread outrage and calls for a thorough investigation. A preliminary inquiry was ordered by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah after the video surfaced, leading to Rao's suspension on Monday. The opposition had demanded immediate action against the senior police officer, accusing the government of protecting influential officers. Rao, who has been embroiled in controversy before, has denied the allegations, claiming that the video was generated by artificial intelligence and part of a conspiracy to destroy his reputation. He alleged that the video was fabricated from an old clip recorded eight years ago while he was stationed in Belagavi. The BJP has slammed the Karnataka government, questioning its handling of law and order in the state. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has vowed to take disciplinary action if the allegations are proven true, stating that no one is above the law, regardless of their seniority. The incident has sparked a heated debate, with many calling for a thorough investigation and accountability. The state government has assured that action will be taken, but the controversy is likely to continue in the coming days.
