Patna: Despite Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s warning, another video has surfaced of senior IAS officer KK Pathak abusing his junior colleagues during a departmental meeting. The video, which has gone viral on social media and is being shared widely, shows the senior bureaucrat in Bihar abusing his juniors. In the latest video, he can be seen using very objectionable words against the junior officers of the Bihar State Cooperative Department. In the latest video, Pathak can be seen saying that officers do not act until they “hear abusive words” (abuses).
It is learned that during the meeting, Pathak lost his temper and said, “Remove all cooperatives, I myself will distribute fertilizers and other equipment.” The video, which is believed to have emerged from the video conference meeting, is believed to have surfaced from the Bihar Chief Minister. This comes just a day after Nitish Kumar ordered an inquiry into KK Pathak’s conduct.

Earlier on Thursday, a video surfaced on social media in which Pathak had abused some IAS officers during a meeting of the prohibition department. They also misbehaved with the office bearers of the Bihar Administrative Services Association (BASA). Basa has also lodged an FIR against Pathak at the Secretariat police station on Thursday. Pathak is now facing criticism from all quarters after his extremely rude behaviour.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar took cognizance of the matter and directed the authority to initiate an inquiry against him. RJD leader and Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav also slammed him for unparliamentary behavior with junior officers. Pathak, however, later apologized for his behaviour.
