Man Claims to Be Attender’s Son, Caught Handling Official Work at Government Office
Belagavi, July 16: A serious security lapse occurred on Tuesday at the Belagavi North Sub-Registrar Office. An unauthorised man entered the office, sat in the Sub-Registrar’s chair, and processed government documents. This happened inside the Deputy Commissioner’s Office—an area expected to follow strict access protocols.
Man Caught Acting Like an Official
Officials later confirmed the man’s identity as Rajshekhar Alagudi. Witnesses saw him printing documents, managing files, and giving instructions to staff. He acted with confidence, creating the impression that he held official authority.
As the crowd grew suspicious, people confronted him. Rajshekhar quickly left the office. He claimed he had only dropped off his father, Bhimappa Alagudi, who works as an attender. Still, several bystanders had already observed him performing official tasks.
Viral Photo Adds to Public Pressure
Soon after the incident, a local citizen snapped a photo of Rajshekhar in the Sub-Registrar’s chair. The image spread rapidly on social media, drawing widespread criticism.
Residents began demanding accountability. They questioned how someone without any official role gained unrestricted access to sensitive government records.
Civic Leaders Demand Accountability
Legal experts and civic activists urged the administration to act immediately. They believe the incident reflects poor supervision and weak internal controls. Some also suspect that staff members might have knowingly allowed Rajshekhar to use the desk and systems.
Activists called for a thorough investigation—not just into Rajshekhar’s role, but also into those who might have helped him. They warned that ignoring the issue could set a dangerous precedent.
District Officials Under Pressure
So far, district officers haven’t released a formal statement. However, sources close to the administration said they have already started an internal review.
Now, residents want more than a quiet inquiry. They expect full transparency and stronger access protocols. Unless the administration responds quickly and firmly, public trust may continue to erode.
