Controversy Erupts in Karnataka Over Alleged Video of DGP Ramachandra Rao in Official Chambers
A controversy has erupted in Karnataka after an alleged video surfaced showing Dr. Ramachandra Rao, a DGP-rank IPS officer and father of gold smuggling accused Ranya Rao, in intimate moments inside his official chambers. The footage, which has gone viral, reportedly shows Rao hugging and kissing different women while in uniform during office hours.
The video, allegedly recorded secretly inside the DGP’s office, has raised serious concerns about professional conduct, discipline, and the misuse of official space. Observers have called it a serious breach of ethics and institutional decorum, though there are no claims of force or coercion.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has been briefed on the incident and reportedly expressed anger, demanding an explanation from the concerned departments. The controversy has put the state government under pressure, with political and administrative circles monitoring whether disciplinary action or a formal inquiry will follow.
Dr. Ramachandra Rao has denied the allegations, calling the video fabricated and claiming he is being deliberately targeted.
