'Trying crocodile meat for the first time': How wife's insta reel landed Ujjain officer into trouble, now facing departmental action

A holiday video featuring crocodile meat has brought an unexpected problem for a Madhya Pradesh civic official. Rajkumar Rathore, a building officer with the Ujjain Municipal Corporation, is facing the prospect of departmental action after a video from his Thailand trip surfaced on social media, a TOI report stated. The clip, reportedly shared on his wife's Instagram account, shows the couple trying what is described as crocodile meat. Its caption reads, "Trying crocodile for the first time in Thailand." The video also features visuals of dead crocodiles. However, it is not the unusual food choice that has drawn the attention of his department. The civic body is examining whether Rathore travelled abroad without obtaining the mandatory official permission.
