Interesting People - A.K. Verma

A.K. Verma, an Indian civil servant, joined the state-run Central Public Works Department (CPWD) as an assistant executive engineer in 1980:  A public sector job in India is usually seen as a job for life.

(Why does that make him interesting? Well, 10 years later, he went on leave, and never went back to work.

People leave work all the time, so it's still not that interesting, but he managed to bunk off work for 24 years, his job was only terminated in 2015. Unfortunately for him, his pay was stopped in the 1990s.

I wonder what he is doing now.)
