Kerala Suspends Two IAS Officers for Alleged Misconduct

N Prashanth and K Gopalakrishnan face disciplinary action over social media outbursts and a controversial WhatsApp group.

N Prashanth, known as 'Collector Bro,' was suspended for criticizing Additional Chief Secretary A Jayathilak on social media.
Prashanth claims his suspension is due to his whistleblowing activities, alleging that Jayathilak orchestrated false reports against him.
K Gopalakrishnan was suspended for allegedly creating a religion-based WhatsApp group, which he claims was done without his consent.
Kerala's Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan ordered the suspensions following an inquiry report by Chief Secretary Sarada Muraleedharan.
The suspensions have sparked political controversy, with allegations of a conspiracy involving opposition leaders.
