Bhopal, Jun 20: An IAS officer of Madhya Pradesh government was suspended on Friday after a male colleague accused him of seeking sexual favours. 

CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan ordered suspension of Dyane-shwar Patil, CEO of Panchayats in the state, when two TV channels filmed him and a junior officer in their underwear in senior bureaucrat's room on Thursday night.

Patil, a 2003 batch IAS officer, denied the charges and said his subordinate was trying to frame him for not appointing a friend as a permanent employee.

The TV crews reached Patil's office after they were tipped off by callers, who identified them only as "friends of the victim".

When the crews reached the CEO's office, they allegedly found the officer half naked in the bathroom. The junior officer, who rushed out of the room in an underwear, told them that the IAS officer had called him to do "unnatural and objectionable" acts.

Patil, a young officer in the rank of an additional collector, told reporters later that his junior came to his office asking if a friend of his working in the Bagroda panchayat office could be regularised.
