You cannot shut the phone off in bootloop. But if you have twrp as recovery you can.
Follow these steps:
1. Press Vol+ & Vol - & power button for a few seconds.
2. When display turns off. Press Vol- & power button within the next 1-3 seconds or else it will start booting again. This will get you to the bootloader screen.
3. Then select recovery mode from the three options.
4. In twrp you can find 'System off' in reboot menu. Use it.

hold volume down and power button...and if you're using cwm then wipe dalvik cache it might solve the bootloop

No you dont need to unlock the bootloader. Before flashing make sure you own the mt6582 version of this device i.e. the quad-core version not the octa core version.
