The slapping incident with the Sub Divisional Officer (SDM) at the petrol pump in Bhilwara district of Rajasthan has now taken a new turn. The woman who had lodged the FIR claiming herself to be the officer’s wife, turned out to be not his legal wife. After this revelation, the matter has become heated not only in administrative circles but also in political circles. Besides, SDM Chhotu Lal Sharma’s old history full of controversies has once again come into limelight.

According to sources, Sharma’s real wife is Poonam Sharma, who has been living separately for many years. She had earlier also filed a case of domestic violence and harassment against her husband. At the same time, Deepika Vyas, the woman who lodged the FIR, claims that the employees at the petrol pump had misbehaved with her, after which Sharma reacted.

‘I am SDM…’ video creates ruckus

This entire incident took place on Tuesday at a petrol pump located near Jaswantpura in Bhilwara. In the viral video, SDM Chhotu Lal Sharma can be seen shouting and threatening the petrol pump employees. In the video he says – “I am the SDM, I am the SDM from here… first of all you don’t know that the car is attached!”

After this the argument escalates so much that Sharma slaps a petrol pump employee. In response, the employee also slaps the SDM. This video quickly went viral on social media, after which people strongly condemned the behavior of the SDM and demanded action against him.

The woman who lodged the FIR did not turn out to be his ‘wife’.

After the video went viral, a woman, Deepika Vyas, lodged a police complaint. Describing herself as the SDM’s wife, she said that the petrol pump employees misbehaved with her and her husband only protected her. Deepika wrote in her complaint – “The person filling petrol started winking at me, due to which my husband got angry. When he protested, two people attacked him. The petrol pump owner also abused me.”

Based on this complaint, the police arrested three petrol pump employees. But investigation revealed that Deepika Vyas is not the legal wife of the SDM. It is being told that the officer’s legal wife is Poonam Sharma, who is living separately with the children and is facing financial crisis.

Old relationship with controversies – removed from post thrice

SDM Chhotu Lal Sharma has a long association with controversies. He has been removed from the post three times so far in his career. In 2017, he was removed due to a public dispute with the development officer of the Panchayat Samiti during a government campaign. The same year, the state personnel department had taken disciplinary action against him over irregularities in mining operations. In 2018, while being SDM in Tonk, he was accused of assaulting his own peon. This matter came into limelight when it was alleged that the peon had run away with the bribe money. Due to these incidents, there were widespread protests in Tonk at that time and Sharma was removed from the post.

Now SDM and his relationship under investigation

After the ‘Slapgate’ controversy, the administration has ordered an investigation into the incident. Besides, questions are also being raised about the SDM and his alleged personal relationships. According to sources, Adhikari’s real-life wife Poonam Sharma and their children were allegedly thrown out of the house, after which she is living separately and struggling to survive. Meanwhile, people are raising questions on social media that how can such indiscipline and personal disputes with an officer be tolerated while holding an administrative post.
