MP recommends sacking IAS Santosh Verma over 'Brahmin girls' remark

  • Madhya Pradesh government recommended the dismissal of IAS officer Santosh Verma to the Centre.
  • Verma's dismissal recommendation follows "undignified" remarks about Brahmin girls and the High Court, sparking outrage.
  • He was removed from his deputy secretary role and attached to GAD without duties due to the controversy.
  • Chief Minister Mohan Yadav noted Verma's alleged fabrication of a promotion order and pending criminal cases.
  • The state government can suspend IAS officers, but the Centre holds the power for dismissal.
