Young IPS officer Hemant Kalal has hit the headlines after exposing irregularities in the functioning of Jodhpur Central Jail. Kalal, along with his police team and an executive magistrate, reached the jail for a surprise inspection but was denied entry by the jail inspector posted at the main gate. The inspector reportedly refused to allow entry citing the absence of the Jail SP, insisting that without his permission, the team could not be allowed inside.
Terming the incident suspicious, Hemant Kalal has lodged a formal complaint with the Jodhpur Police Commissioner and other senior officials, alleging possible collusion within the jail administration. He has sought a thorough investigation into the matter.
Belonging to Damdi village in Dungarpur district, Hemant Kalal comes from a modest background. His father, Mohanlal Kalal, runs a grocery shop, while his mother, Sita Devi, is a homemaker. Kalal did his early schooling at Nutan Public School in his native village before shifting to Guru Nanak School, Udaipur in class 7. Though considered average in academics during school and college, he set his sights on cracking the UPSC Civil Services Examination.
In his attempt, Hemant Kalal secured an impressive All India Rank of 371 and was allotted the Rajasthan cadre. Today, as Assistant Police Commissioner in Jodhpur, he is known for his proactive policing and dedication to duty. His recent action against the jail administration has once again brought him into the spotlight.
