BHOPAL: A Madhya Pradesh minister, eager to earn instant popularity, on Wednesday asked a "corrupt" village revenue official to perform "uthak baithak" (sit-ups while holding ears) in public view.

On Thursday, CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan asked minister for public health, engineering and co-operatives Gauri Shankar Bisen to explain his conduct. The minister was in Chhinda village in Seoni when people sent him several complaints against patwari Devendra Marskole, alleging he was demanding bribes.

Sources in the government said the CM pulled up the minister over telephone and asked for a written explanation.
