Kalyan Singh, a senior official in the Uttar Pradesh tourism department, has been suspended after a video surfaced on social media, allegedly showing him accepting bribe money. In the clip, Singh purportedly accepts cash from an individual in exchange for expediting a report and is heard discussing further payments. Although the authenticity of the video remains unverified, it has sparked significant concern within the department. Singh has denied being the person in the video, suggesting that the audio may have been manipulated using artificial intelligence and claiming that the allegations are politically motivated. In response, the Uttar Pradesh government, led by Amrit Abhijat, additional chief secretary of tourism and culture, has recommended Singh's immediate suspension and initiated a preliminary inquiry. Jaiveer Singh, the tourism and culture minister, reiterated the government's commitment to a zero-tolerance policy against corruption, stating that strict actions will be taken if the allegations are proven true, potentially including termination of service.
