Kishanganj (Bihar), Jun 25 (PTI) A court here today issued a warrant against an IAS officer, who was earlier posted here as the district magistrate and against whom a case was registered under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

Additional District and Sessions judge Satyendra Pandey issued the warrant against Pankaj Dixit, currently posted as the district magistrate of Rohtas.

A complaint was lodged against Dixit by District Statistical Officer Surendra Kumar Suman.
