The Chhattisgarh government has transferred the Sukma Superintendent of Police I K Elsela after the Congress protested in the Assembly against the police official's alleged remark that human rights organizations should be "run over by vehicles".
According to local media reports, Elsela made the alleged remarks during the launch of a vehicle at a showroom in Jagdalpur on Thursday, where former Bastar IG S R P Kalluri and Jagdalpur SP R N Das were also present. Elsela reportedly said that the police were working to make roads fit for new-age vehicles and that human rights organizations should be "run over by these new vehicles". The reports suggested that he was referring to Jagdalpur Legal Aid Group lawyers Isha Khandelwal and Shalini Gera in particular.
