Goa government officer accused of seeking massage from peon

A government employee has filed a complaint accusing the senior bureaucrat Anand Sherkhane of ordering him to give body massage and do personal chores such as washing and cleaning at his residence.
Pandurang Shirvaikar, a peon with Directorate of Planning, Statistics and Evaluation, has alleged that Sherkhane was harassing him by ordering to do personal works at his official residence.
Shirvaikar filed the complaint before the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Commission yesterday.
When contacted, Sherkhane, Director-Planning and Statistics, refuted the allegations, saying he had never called the complainant to his residence for private work.
Shirvaikar has said that Sherkhane on some occasions asked him to scrub the floor, clean the fish pond, do the laundry and even polish the shoes, apart from making him give body massage every alternate day at latter's residence at Altinho.

He further alleges that when he refused to continue doing these jobs, he was transferred to South Goa on January 7.
However, Sherkhane said it was a routine transfer.
