So much for Mr. Kalluri's grand dreams of locking us all up, claiming he had strong evidence and what not.
Thanks to my wonderful lawyers, Nitya Ramakrishnan, Rahul Kripalani and Ashok Desai - I lost no sleep at all.
All this was an effort by the Chhattisgarh police and government to deflect attention from the Tadmetla case where the CBI has charged the police with arson.. rapes and murder investigation still ongoing.
But thanks to friends and others who I don't know but who have been wonderfully supportive, this has backfired on Kalluri and the government. Many people have signed petitions, expressed solidarity etc. I am sure together we will ultimately win and ensure justice for everyone in Bastar.
