Karnataka government accepts DySP Anupama Shenoy's resignation

BENGALURU: The state government late on Thursday night, accepted Kudiligi deputy superintendent of police Anupama Shenoy's resignation.

The home department's official communique, issued on orders from the Governor, said the officer's resignation had been accepted with immediate effect.

Shenoy had tendered her resignation on June 4 and since then her whereabouts were not known.

However, surfacing days after resigning and remaining incommunicado, she said she would not go back on her decision. "I stand by my decision to resign," she said on reaching Kudiligi on Thursday.

A special team was formed to track down Shenoy, whose alleged posts on Facebook levelling accusations against Labour Minister PT Parameshwar Naik, also the district incharge, had created a flutter. Asked about her Facebook posts, she said "I don't know about Facebook; someone might be doing it in my name, it might have been hacked also."

Naik had said he has nothing to do with the officer's resignation and he also expressed doubts about the veracity of the Facebook account and its user.
