A WhatsApp group for Kerala IAS officers, exclusive to Hindus, was disbanded after controversy arose.

A WhatsApp group called "Mallu Hindu Officers" for Kerala IAS officers has stirred controversy due to its exclusive membership of Hindu officials. Created by K. Gopalakrishnan, the group was disbanded the next day after objections were raised about its sectarian nature, which contradicts secular principles expected of civil servants. Gopalakrishnan claimed his phone was hacked, leading to the unauthorized creation of multiple groups. An inquiry by the Chief Secretary is anticipated.
