Raichur: I.R. Perumal, who served as the Deputy Commissioner of Raichur in 1993-94, has reportedly become Sanyasi.

He was recently seen at the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, leaving many who recognized him in awe.

A striking contrast between his past and present has gone viral on social media, where images of him being DC juxtaposed with his current appearance as a monk with a long beard and matted hair.

Speculations suggest he might have turned to asceticism (Sanyasathv) in search of higher spiritual truths.

The grand Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj has become a hub for attracting individuals who have dedicated themselves to a spiritual journey. Among them, the presence of a former Deputy Commissioner like Perumal highlights the diversity of those seeking ultimate truth and enlightenment.

His transformation and decision to leave behind his administrative career for a spiritual path have become a point of discussion among those familiar with his tenure in Raichur.
