NDTV
IAS officer N Prashanth has levelled serious allegations against Additional Chief Secretary Jayathilak. He has described the senior bureaucrat as a "psychopath"
Kerala IAS officer N Prashanth aka 'Collector Bro', who has been suspended on disciplinary grounds after he publicly criticised a senior officer, has over 3 lakh followers on Facebook and 50,000 on Instagram. His social media activity had earlier raised politicians' eyebrows, but the bureaucrat has insisted that social media is the best platform to reach the people.
Ironically, it is his social media criticism of a senior officer that landed him in trouble and led to the government action against him. The 2007-batch IAS officer described Additional Chief Secretary A Jayathilak as a psychopath and accused him of orchestrating baseless news reports against him. Following the state government's action, the officer has said he is a "whistleblower". He also said that being an IAS officer was not his sole ambition and he had other interests.
