Patna Additional District Magistrate (ADM) KK Singh has been removed from the post of ADM Law and Order of Patna with immediate effect after he allegedly beat up a teaching job aspirant during a protest on August 22.
Krishna Kanhaiya Prasad Singh has now been transferred to the General Administration Department in the state.
The former Patna ADM’s actions came into the limelight after he was seen beating a teaching job aspirant mercilessly as the latter was holding the tricolour on August 22. The video of the student being beaten up by a stick had gone viral while he was pleading and crying.
The youth continued to get beaten even as he tried to cover his face with the national flag. A cop is then seen pulling the national flag from his possession and folding it.
Students were protesting in Bihar seeking employment. Notably, hundreds of aspiring teachers were lathi-charged in Patna as they protested against the delay in their recruitment.
After the video went viral, the ADM and the Bihar police faced backlash from the people and the opposition, mainly BJP.
