Reportedly, the mayor had made a surprise visit after receiving numerous complaints regarding the issuance of birth and death certificates. The incident took place on Friday.
When the mayor examined the birth and death registers, he found significant incorrect entries and noted that certificates were not being issued to people. The mayor reportedly lost his cool after the clerk responded, “I’ll look into it,” when asked about the complaints.
The video shows the mayor pulling the clerk out of the house, holding him by his neck, and then pushing him out before leaving.

“We have been receiving complaints for a long time that the clerk has been seriously negligent in issuing birth and death certificates. During today’s inspection, the registers were also found to be incorrect. No one found guilty of wrongdoing will be spared. Further action will be decided after the investigation,” the mayor said while speaking to Hindi news portals.
