A leaked video capturing an online departmental review meeting for Mission YUVA has revealed senior IAS officer Kumar Rajeev Ranjan verbally berating junior administrative service officer Beenish Wani. During the virtual conference, the discussion regarding official work quickly escalated into a hostile exchange, with Ranjan reportedly initiating steps to order suspension proceedings against Wani.
The recorded interaction has triggered widespread public criticism and scrutiny across the region. In response to the growing controversy, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah formally wrote to Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo, urging authorities to ensure that the female officer is not victimized or unfairly penalized in the aftermath of the incident.
