New twist to Anupama resignation; former DySP to meet Sonia Gandhi?

June 15, 2016

Ballari, Jun 15: KSPS officer nupama Shenoy's rsignation issue has taken a new twist on Tuesday. According to the sources, the former DySP of Kudligi sub-division had drafted two resignation letters. One letter cited personal reasons for resignation while in other letter, Anupama had revealed about the circumstances which forced her to take the drastic decision and blamed a nexus of liquor lobby, a few police officials and District Minister P T Parameshwara Naik for her decision.

Anupama had handed over both the letters to the staff before leaving Kudligi on June 4. She, however, told the staff to send the resignation letter, citing personal reason, to Ballari SP, sources added. The government accepted the resignation with immediate effect on Thursday.

In the other resignation letter, which has gone viral in WhatsApp, she is believed to have stated, “I had taken several measures to put a curb on illicit liquor in Kudligi sub-division. But the liquor lobby is very strong in Kudligi. Even the police staff of Kudligi sub-division, including the CPI, has surrendered meekly to the liquor lobby.

The liquor lobby, at the behest of district minister and a few influential politicians, staged a protest against me. I have failed completely in preventing the protest. I am ready to face disciplinary action for it. Hurt by the events, I hereby tender my resignation.”

In Bengaluru, Home Minister G. Parameshwara, however, said the Home Department had not received any resignation letter prior to the one that cited personal reasons.

Meanwhile, Achyut Shenoy, brother of Anupama Shenoy, who recently resigned as Deputy Superintendent of Police of Kudligi sub-division, Ballari district, said on Tuesday that his sister was firm on meeting Governor Vajubhai R. Vala and president of the All India Congress Committee Sonia Gandhi and apprising them of reasons leading to her resignation.

Mr. Achyut Shenoy, who is based at Uchila village in Udupi district, also claimed that Ms. Anupama Shenoy had first submitted a resignation letter in which she had given all details leading to her resignation and also written about the liquor mafia and Minister P.T. Parameshwar Naik's alleged support to them.
