"I am the officer": Datia Collector Swapnil Wankhede's viral public hearing.

• A video of Datia Collector Swapnil Wankhede's public hearing (Jansunwai) has gone viral.
• An elderly man repeatedly asked to meet the "Sahab" (Collector) during the hearing, unaware he was speaking to Collector Wankhede himself.
• Collector Wankhede humorously responded, "I am the Sahab," eventually convincing the elder.
• The elderly man had approached the public hearing with a complaint regarding his pension.
• The incident highlights how Collectors sometimes sit informally among citizens, leading to such misunderstandings.
