The post containing the video was uploaded on April 4 and swiftly garnered viral status, amassing over seven lakh views, 14,000 likes, and a multitude of comments. Users flooded the comment section with their reactions, reflecting diverse sentiments about the incident.

One commenter expressed disdain, highlighting systemic issues within government jobs: 

"This is the reason why most wish to get into govt jobs. There's no love for the nation to improve the country as motivation. The ability to abuse power, steal, and have no accountability for performance wastes taxpayer money for luxury. Passing one difficult exam gives you access to the easiest life."

Another individual shared a contrasting perspective, citing aspirations for positive change through civil service: "I want to be a civil servant because it gives you the power to change people's lives -His answer in the interview."
