IAS Officer Slaps Student Repeatedly – And His Excuse Will Make Your Blood Boil
Let’s Break This Down
Okay, so here’s the thing—what started as a routine exam day in Madhya Pradesh turned into something straight out of a nightmare. An IAS officer, Sanjeev Srivastava, was caught on camera slapping a student named Rohit. Not once. Not twice. Repeatedly. And get this—he actually tried to justify it later. The whole thing’s got people across India furious, and honestly? Rightfully so.
1. What Actually Went Down?
Picture this: exam hall, nervous students, the usual tension. Then out of nowhere, Srivastava—who was supposedly there to supervise—goes off on Rohit. Slaps him hard, multiple times. No warning, no explanation. Some witnesses say Rohit’s ear started bleeding afterward. That’s the kind of force we’re talking about here. And yet, shocker—no video proof has surfaced. Just a bunch of terrified kids who saw it happen.
2. The Student’s Side of the Story
Rohit’s sitting there thinking, “This can’t be real.” I mean, who expects to get assaulted during an exam? “He’s an IAS officer,” Rohit said later, “so what could I even do?” That right there—that helplessness—is what makes this so messed up. The kid’s dealing with actual physical pain and who-knows-what kind of emotional damage. Social media exploded with #JusticeForRohit, but hashtags don’t fix broken eardrums.
3. The Officer’s Bizarre Defense
So Srivastava goes on NDTV and basically says… well, nothing concrete. Some vague justification about “maintaining discipline.” Classic power move—act first, make excuses later. Legal eagles are already picking apart whether his badge makes him untouchable. Reminds me of that SDM in Rajasthan who thought slapping citizens was part of the job description.
4. Why This Matters Beyond One Case
Here’s the kicker—this isn’t just about some hotheaded officer. It’s about how often this crap happens. IPC Section 352 covers assault, but when was the last time you saw an IAS officer actually face consequences? There’s this unspoken rule that authority equals immunity, and that’s how we end up with grown men thinking it’s okay to beat up kids.
5. How Everyone’s Reacting
Opposition leaders are (shocker) using this for political points, demanding suspensions. Meanwhile, Twitter’s having a field day with memes about “discipline” meaning physical abuse now. But beneath the jokes, people are genuinely angry. There’s only so many times you can watch the powerful walk free before you start seeing red.
6. Same Story, Different State
Let’s be real—this is practically a pattern at this point. Rajasthan SDM slapping folks? Check. UP cops roughing up protesters? Check. It’s like there’s some secret manual for government employees titled “How to Abuse Power 101.” And the worst part? They keep doing it because they know nothing will happen.
7. What Happens Now?
An FIR will probably get filed because, you know, optics. But will Srivastava actually face music? That depends on how loud Rohit’s lawyers can shout, and whether his medical reports show permanent damage. Meanwhile, the officer’s probably banking on this blowing over like it always does.
Bottom Line
This isn’t about one bad apple. It’s about the whole damn tree being rotten. When the people we trust to run the country think violence is an acceptable leadership tool, something’s fundamentally broken. Rohit’s just the latest victim—but unless we start holding these guys accountable, he won’t be the last.
