He had directed authorities to look into all aspects of the allegations and submit a report to him, Kumar added.
” One thing is clear and certain that any officer should not post tweet on social media relating to official matter”, Chief Minister said adding that such behaviour of an officer was a dirty act. If any officer had some grievances, he should place it on proper platform in the department and remedial action would be taken soon, he added.
Kumar, however maintained that it would not be proper for him to say something on the issue at this stage.
Wait for the inquiry report, he told media persons making queries in this regard.
As it is, IG Vikas Vaibhav of Home Guards and Fire Services had tweeted in midnight on Wednesday that he was being regularly abused by his boss, Sobha Ohatkar, DG of Home Guards and Fire Services.

Madam’ was available with him.
