I am victim of system and corrupt politics: Anupama Shenoy

July 01, 2016 00:40

Former DSP Anupama Shenoy, who resigned her post earlier this month over alleged interference in her work by a minister, today claimed that she was a victim of both system and corrupt politics.

Talking to reporters after appearing before the Karnataka Women's Commission, Shenoy said she had reached out to the commission to find out ways to solve women officers' grievances in a male-dominated society.

"The entire society, and the system, is male dominated. The system is acting to the tune of male ideas... I am a victim of both system and corrupt politics," she said. Shenoy had resigned as Deputy Superintendent of Police of Kdligi sub-division in Karnataka's Ballari district. She had earlier written a letter to the commission accusing Ballari Superintendent of Police R Chetan of harassing her by succumbing to political pressure.

"Through this (approaching the commission), I am hoping that the system may find some way so that any lady officer, if they are having any grievances, can find a solution," she said.

Shenoy said she had decided to carry foward her fight by not remaining in the system and added she was having mental peace, which she missed while at work. "At least I have mental peace. Job did not provide me any mental peace," she added.
