Panchayat CEO Prashanth Kumar Mishra transferred

The Karnataka government has transferred Mysuru Zilla Panchayat (ZP) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Prashanth Kumar Mishra without posting for allegedly abetting suicide of a Covid doctor at Nanjungud, an official said on Saturday. "Mishra has been transferred from the executive post, as an inquiry has been ordered into the death of Nanjungud taluk health officer S.R. Nagendra, who is said to have committed suicide on August 20 due to alleged harassment by Mishra and work pressure to meet testing targets," a district official said. "The local police also booked an abetment case against Mishra on a complaint by the 43-year-old doctor's family, which alleged that Nagendra was under stress due to work pressure as a Covid warrior," the official said.
