Karnataka Director General of Police (Civil Rights Enforcement) K Ramachandra Rao has been suspended after multiple videos purportedly showing him in a compromising position with women went viral on social media on Monday.
The unverified clips showed him with the women in what appeared to be his office. Some sleazy audio clips also surfaced in which Rao was purportedly heard speaking to women.
Rao acted in an "obscene manner which is unbecoming of a government servant and also caused embarrassment to the government", his suspension order read.
The state government is convinced that Rao's conduct is in violation of the rules, the official order said.
