Chattisgarh IAS officer Jagdish Sonkar, who went viral recently for keeping his leg on the cot, as he spoke to a patient at a hospital has apologised.
The young IAS officer was slammed for what was widely seen as arrogant behaviour.
And here could be a case of an apology slightly complicating the controversy further.
The apology is directed at fellow civil servants, who seemed to have been divided on their response, to the viral photo.
In a Facebook post, Jagdish Sonkar says he apologises to each of his colleagues at the civil service fraternity for the harm the act has done for their image.
There is not a word on the patients in the hospital, who endured his behaviour, which he admits as avoidable.
Jagdish Sonkar assured fellow babus that he would stick to the core values of the civil service and lists them - Honesty, Integrity, Objectivity, Impartiality and Civility, Modesty, Humility, Chivalry - all which his viral photo failed to convey.
With a touch of defiance, he also thanks all those who did not judge him based on a single snapshot.
