The clip shows the officer casually singing while seated in his official chair, which sparked criticism for undermining the dignity of his position. The incident drew widespread attention on social media, prompting authorities to take disciplinary action, citing inappropriate conduct in a formal setting. Video of official singing Bollywood song goes viral Tehsildar Prashant Thorat was captured on video singing 'Yara Teri Yari Ko', a popular song from the 1981 Amitabh Bachchan film Yaarana. The footage shows Thorat performing the song while surrounded by people applauding and clapping along. Further, the video shows a signboard behind Thorat displaying the title "Taluka Magistrate" surfacing. On July 30, he was transferred to Renapur in neighbouring Latur from Umri in the Nanded district. Since both areas are in the same division, he took charge of his new posting the same day. Thorat sang the song at his send-off party, which was organised on August 8 in Umri. The video of the farewell, once shared on the internet, didn't sit well with social media users. Many slammed Thorat, claiming that singing songs while sitting in the official chair is inappropriate and undermines the seriousness of his position. A Tehsildar from Maharashtra, Prashant Thorat, has been suspended after a video of him singing the Bollywood classic 'Yara Teri Yaari Ko' from Yaarana at his farewell went viral. The clip, showing him in his official chair with colleagues clapping along, sparked controversy. The… Internet slams the action taken against the official Once the video from the send-off surfaced online, it sparked backlash on social media. Many users criticised Thorat, arguing that performing a song while seated in an official chair was unprofessional and diminished the dignity of his position. Another said, A Dalit-backwards community tehsildar, Prashant Thorat, sang a song 'Tere Jaisa Yaar Kahan…' at a farewell ceremony. And the government suspended him. The video went viral, the excuse was indiscipline. But the question is: Ministers were openly playing rummy in the assembly, so why weren't they suspended? This punishment is not for singing a song, but for caste and identity. The Dronacharya lobby is still operating with the same mentality. "Society must decide: Is singing a song a crime, or is being a Dalit a crime?" एक दलित-पिछड़े समाज के तहसीलदार प्रशांत थोराट ने विदाई समारोह में सिर्फ़ गाना गा दिया 'तेरे जैसा यार कहाँ…'और सरकार ने उन्हें सस्पेंड कर दिया। वीडियो वायरल हुआ, बहाना बना अनुशासनहीनता।पर सवाल ये हैविधानसभा में मंत्री खुलेआम रम्मी खेल रहे थे, फिर उन्हें क्यों नहीं सस्पेंड… While on the defensive, he said, "The issue is not about singing; the issue is about caste and the system. If those in power play games in the assembly, they get away with it, but if a Dalit-backwards officer sings a song, they face punishment! Discipline is just an excuse; the real reason is social discrimination." To stay updated on the stories that are going viral, follow Indiatimes Trending.
