The Left government in Kerala has suspended IAS officer K Gopalakrishnan for violation of discipline, PTI reported quoting sources. IAS Gopalakrishnan allegedly created a religion-based WhatsApp group of government officials.

The controversy began on October 31, when several IAS officers in the Kerala cadre were unexpectedly added to a new WhatsApp group. The group included only Hindu officers, prompting immediate objections. Many officers viewed the group as a breach of secular values. that government officials are expected to uphold. The group, however, was deleted the following day.
