Ujjain Municipal Officer Faces Action After Viral Video of Eating Crocodile Meat in Thailand

Ujjain Municipal Corporation’s building officer, Rajkumar Rathore, appeared in a video that quickly spread across social media, showing him consuming crocodile meat while on a trip to Thailand. The clip, posted without any official clearance, sparked widespread discussion online and raised questions about the conduct of public servants abroad.

Following the viral spread, the municipal administration has opened a disciplinary inquiry into Rathore’s actions. Officials are reportedly reviewing whether he violated the department’s travel policy, which requires prior permission for any foreign visit. The inquiry may lead to punitive measures if the breach is confirmed.

The episode has drawn public attention to the broader issue of accountability among government employees, especially when personal activities become public through digital platforms. Authorities have emphasized that adherence to procedural norms is essential, irrespective of the nature of the travel or the content shared online.
