An IAS officer who is posted in Uttar Pradesh issued an apology after he taunted some Dalit leaders from Bahujan Samaj Party for their expensive clothes and cars.

Bhawani Singh Khangorat, the District Magistrate of Ballia, tweeted, "It was my mistake. It was also childish to refer to somebody's watch, shoes or car. It did not occur to me then, but now I feel it."
