Vaibhav proceeded on 60-day leave late Thursday evening.
Messages sent to both Vaibhav and Ahotkar failed to get any response.
This is the second incident of this kind when senior officers have allegedly abused their juniors. Last week, additional chief secretary KK Pathak was heard abusing deputy collectors and calling Biharis useless.

โEvery day, I am hearing abuses from the mouth of DG madam..I am deeply hurt today,โ Vaibhav, who has started the Let Us Inspire Bihar movement and addresses students on weekends, tweeted at 1.43 am. The tweet has gone viral in the state.

On Thursday morning he wrote on Facebook,"Felt hurt when she abused my wife and mother too. She could not control her anger as she was denied elevation as the main DG of Police by the chief minister. This is the height of her frustration."
"Great men from Maharashtra like Chhatrapati Shivaji Mahaaj have inspired me," he wrote in an obvious reference to Ahotkar who is from Maharashtra and is married to a Bihar cadre 1990 IAS officer.

Ahotkar had entered into an ugly spat in May 2022 at Visheshwariya Bhawan, the state secretariat building here, with the district magistrate of Patna Chandrashekhar Singh. She had scolded the senior SP of Patna and alleged that the local police was incompetent. The district magistrate defended the Patna police and told her they are performing their duties when building had caught fire.
