“On one hand you shower flowers on Corona warriors, but on the other hand, you have transferred Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh who had received death threats for honest work,” Siddaramaiah wrote on Twitter.

Sindhu B Rupesh was transferred on Tuesday afternoon, a day after her statement warning legal action against those assaulting and attacking cattle traders had not gone down well with right-wing organizations.
In a WhatsApp group chat, a person had also threatened to “chop” Sindhu B Rupesh for her remarks.
Congratulations Mr. @BSYBJP avare,
