Originally a Haryana police service officer, Kalson was promoted to the Indian Police Service (IPS) in 2006. Kalson was then transferred as a deputy inspector general of police (DIG) in the state vigilance bureau, before being transferred as DIG home guards in November 2018. He was promoted as an IG in December 2018.
The senior police officer has courted controversy in the past too. On 27 July this year, another Pinjore resident accused Kalson of using abusive language in an inebriated condition against her, prompting the police to register a case against him.
In April 2019, he was placed under suspension for firing in the air during election duty in Tamil Nadu without valid explanation. In September 2018, he was assaulted by passers-by in a road rage.
