All You Need To Know About Bastar’s ‘Controversial’ Top Cop Who’s Reportedly Been Replaced

Shiv Ram Prasad Kalluri, the inspector general of police for Chhattisgarh’s Bastar region, has gone on medical leave amid outrage over abusive and threatening messages allegedly sent from his phone to rights activists and lawyers in the state. 

A News18 report suggests that he has been sent on forced leave by the state government.

However, Kalluri told Rediff.com on Thursday that he has no clue either about him being replaced or going on leave! 

Some activists recently claimed they received abusive texts from him for seeking protection for activist Bela Bhatia, who was attacked and threatened by a mob at her house in Bastar. The activists suspect that the assault had something to do with Kalluri.
