She is back in the news after her Facebook post goes viral. The post read 'Resigned and jobless" -- a smiling emoticon had been added to it.
While Ms Shenoy has not commented on this, the opposition BJP has gone public with its suspicions about her sudden decision.
Senior BJP leader Suresh Kumar said "Anupama is known for her commitment and efficiency. I think her commitment her efficiency became a hurdle for minister PT Parmeshwar Nayak.”
He added “ Two months ago, the minister, had created problems for the officer. And suddenly she has resigned and she's posting this, hinting that she has to resign because of the political pressure. I think this government should have stood behind a sincere officer, committed officer.”.
Ms Shenoy was the Deputy Superintendent of Police in Bellari district's Kudligi. She came into controversies after she had put a minister’s call on hold.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said he had heard about the resignation, but was unaware of the details. "The officers are looking into that. I don't know about it. She has sent her resignation, they say. It has come to the DG - they will look into it," he told reporters in Bengaluru.
