A farewell party was held in Madhya Pradesh, upon the retirement of a District Judge. Chief Judicial Magistrate Pankaj Jaiswal and a clerk performed a Nagin dance heavily. The two were joined along by two female judges who danced along with great frenzy. Someone in presence made a video of all this and it gained immediate attention after it went viral. The act got attention more so as they were all dressed in their official Uniforms.

A Suo Moto Cognizance was taken by the High Court and the  Babus were immediately suspended from duty. The Chief Judicial Magistrate Jaiswal, lady judge Sonali Sharma, and Judge Rachna Atulkar were also suspended with immediate effect.
