Why Bastar Top Cop Kalluri Wants Activists To Stay Away

Delhi University professor Nandini Sundar, an activist and author noted for her work in Maoist-hit Chhattisgarh, has been labelled a "murder suspect" by the police in the state. Ms Sundar and Jawaharlal Nehru University's Archana Prasad are among 10 people accused in the murder of a tribal villager. On Agenda, senior Bastar police officer, IG SRP Kalluri, known for his strong-arm tactics and opposition to journalists reporting on the plight of tribal villagers, says that the 'strongest possible action' will be taken against the guilty. He also adds that 'activists are enemies because they incite people of India against democracy'.
