Anupama Shenoy briefs women’s panel, ‘daily dose of harassment’


Mangalore Today News Network

Mangaluru, June 21, 2016: Speaking to media persons at Uchila in Udupi district late on June 19, Sunday night, Anupama Shenoy, who  resigned as Deputy Superintendent of Police, holding P.T. Parameshwar Naik (the then district in-charge Minister) responsible for her decision, has written to the Karnataka State Commission for Women (KSCW) on how she was “harassed, almost daily” within the department. Anupama Shenoy said her problems started in January 2016. She alleged she was assigned duties that disregarded the model code of conduct in force for the zilla and taluk panchayat elections.

She said there were “memos being issued against her for almost everything” by the department, with politicians conspiring against her. She said she had given full details on all these matters in her letter to the chairperson of the KSCW, Manjula Manasa.

She said procedures were being “illegally twisted” by the senior officers for their own ends. She did not rule out the possibility of approaching the courts or the Karnataka Administrative Tribunal in this regard.

On asked about earlier posts on her Facebook page, some of which made allegations against  Naik and the government, Shenoy said: “There are no rules against posting opinions on Facebook. Moreover, there is also the question of how private posts are being leaked,” she said, without making claims that the posts were put up by her.

Asked about her future plans, Anupama said she had served as a lecturer at St. Aloysius College for two years and worked in a NGO for three years before joining the department. She would either become a lecturer or work in an NGO outside the State, far from the menace of harassment.

Resignation process : With the family refusing to receive the acknowledgment of Anupama Shenoy’s resignation being accepted by the government, the Ballari police have pasted it on the door of her house in Uchila. Anupama  Shenoy alleged that the Ballari district police were hounding her family members daily to issue the notice of acknowledgement of her resignation. “Why are they in a hurry to accept my resignation?” she said.
