Kalaburagi: The city police have booked three people including two ex-corporators for allegedly giving death threats to District Backward Classes Welfare Department officer Ramesh G Sanga over his statement on his transfer recommendation by Kalaburagi’s BJP MLA Dattatreya Revoor.

The accused are Chandrakantha Santapura and ex-corporators Prabhu Hadimani and Vishal Dargi.

Sanga lodged a complaint with the police after receiving a life-threatening call over his statement on his transfer recommendation by Kalaburagi’s BJP MLA Dattatreya Revoor.

In an interview to a news channel, Sanga had leveled a number of allegations against the MLA.

He had alleged that Revoor had made several attempts to transfer him. He went on to say that he urged the MLA to provide funds for distributing ration kits to COVID-19-affected people in the city but he ignored his request.
