The young Chattisgarh IAS Officer, Dr Jagdish Sonkar, who recently raised quite a public uproar after an objectionable picture of him went viral on social media on May 4, has posted an earnest apology on a social networking site.
The apology followed the viral, highly criticised image of the young officer, talking to the mother of a patient in a hospital with his foot, casually resting on the railing of the patient’s bed.
Jagdish Sonkar, IAS from Chhattisgarh should be suspended & trained in civil behavior & etiquette. @drramansingh https://t.co/DeXl5JQp9u

The media uproar was such that even the Chief Minister of Chattisgarh, CM Raman promised action against him. A report said he was suspended.
Dr Sonkar also told Hindustan Times that his actions were “unintentional and avoidable”, before tendering a formal apology. It is yet to be seen whether the apology will help make up for the young officer’s misdemeanor.
