How the Dispute Started

The incident took place in Kurdu village of Madha taluka, Solapur, where continuous complaints of illegal sand excavation were being reported. DSP Ms Krishna reached the spot to take action and confronted villagers engaged in excavation activities.

Political Involvement Escalates the Situation

During the operation, NCP worker Baba Jagtap called Mr Ajit Pawar and handed over the phone to the DSP. When Mr Pawar identified himself and instructed her to halt the operation, Ms. Krishna insisted on official communication through his designated number, refusing to comply over an informal call.

Heated Exchange on Video Call

Mr Pawar, angered by her response, warned of strict action and made a video call, stating, “You will recognize my face, right?” He reiterated his instructions to stop the operation and asked her to consult the Tehsildar. Despite the exchange, Ms Krishna continued with her duty as villagers failed to produce official documents proving permission for excavation.

Villagers’ Claims and Ongoing Investigation

While villagers claimed Gram Panchayat approval for the excavation, no valid documentation was shown. Authorities including DSP Ms Krishna, the Tehsildar, and Prantadhikari have maintained that the matter is under investigation. No formal complaint has been filed so far.

Who is IPS Officer Ms. Anjana Krishna?

Ms Krishna is currently posted as Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) in Karmala, Solapur. She hails from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, where her father Mr Biju runs a small clothing business and her mother Ms. Seena works as a court typist.

She completed her schooling at St. Mary’s Central School, Poojappura, and graduated in BSc Mathematics from HHMSPB NSS College for Women, Neeramankara. With AIR-355 in the UPSC CSE – 2022, she is known for her honesty, determination, and sharp administrative skills.

Bureaucratic Angle

The incident reflects the challenges faced by officers while ensuring law enforcement in sensitive matters involving political influence. It also highlights the importance of bureaucratic integrity in upholding transparency and accountability in governance.
