Rajasthan SDM Viral Video: A tense incident unfolded on Tuesday, October 21, at a petrol pump in Bhilwara, Rajasthan, leaving social media buzzing. CCTV footage shows a heated argument between SDM Chhotu Lal Sharma and petrol pump employees at the Jaswantpura CNG station on the Ajmer-Bhilwara Highway around 3:44 PM. The viral video shows SDM Sharma getting out of his car while a staff member is filling the tank of a white car.
He reportedly shouted, “SDM hun main yahan ka (I am the SDM here),” before slapping the attendant. Reports suggest the argument began because the employee chose to fill another vehicle before the SDM’s.
When another worker intervened and questioned the SDM, he was slapped as well. One employee raised his hands in retaliation, while another tried to calm the situation. Sharma’s wife also joined in, shouting, as the SDM hurled abuses and warned, “You dare lay a hand on the SDM?” The video even shows him following a worker during the ongoing argument.

अरे साहब, यही रौब आप उन अपराधियों पर दिखाइए, जो रोज़ कानून की धज्जियाँ उड़ा रहे हैं, न कि उस आम आदमी पर जो ईमानदारी से मेहनत कर रहा है।… pic.twitter.com/AEAs17CWIx
