A viral video, which surfaced on Sunday evening, left the Bengal government officials in a tizzy. The video shows a Bengal cadre IAS officer Nikhil Nirmal, who is the current district magistrate of Alipurduar, beating up a young man mercilessly. 

In the video, Nirmal and his wife both take turns and beat up a local youth inside the Falakata police station in presence of inspector-in-charge Soumyajit Ray. 

According to sources in the police, the youth had made some lewd comments on Nirmal’s wife’s Facebook profile. Soon, he was summoned to the police station where he was beaten up by Nirmal and his wife. 

Surprisingly, Nirmal is heard saying in the video, “I will not let you do anything against me in my district. I will enter your house and kill you.”
