Udupi, Apr 10: Former police officer Anupama Shenoy has expressed her desire to contest the May 12 Karnataka Assembly elections from her native place Kaup in Udupi district.

Speaking to media in Bengaluru, she announced the first list of 15 members from her Bharatiya Janashakti Congress who will be contesting the elections. She said the EC has approved her party’s symbol as the ladies finger.

"I have decided to contest from Kaup constituency. The final decision would be taken soon after holding talks with other leaders,” she told media persons.

She said that apart from fighting against corruption and ensuring rule of law, her party would encourage youths with leadership qualities to come to the forefront.

A former Deputy Superintendent of Police of Kudligi in Ballari district, Shenoy had floated Bharatiya Janashakti Congress in November 2017.

Shenoy, who served in Kudligi sub-division, was abruptly transferred, allegedly for not attending a call from the then district in-charge Minister P.T. Parmeshwar Naik and also for taking on the liquor lobby head-on. Though she was reinstated, she chose to resign and enter politics.

Though she met several BJP and RSS leaders after resigning as police officer, she reportedly did not get expected support from them. Later, when she criticised BJP, she had to face the wrath of troll brigade of the saffron party.

Welcome to Politics but Kaup is not suitable place for this time. Try from Karkala or Kundapur

Bengaluru, Jan 29: The high court has granted bail to a 37-year-old Bangladeshi woman from the Christian community on the strength of Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019.

The court cited Section 2 of the amended Citizenship Act 1955, according to which minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who entered India on or before December 31, 2014 should not be treated as illegal immigrants, while granting her bail.

Allowing the petition filed by Archana Purnima Pramanik, an illegal immigrant from Bangladesh, who claims to be staying in India since 2003, justice John Michael Cunha on Monday directed her to furnish a bail bond for Rs 2 lakh to the satisfaction of the investigating officer and cooperate with the probe.

The judge observed the allegations made against her must be proved in a full-dressed trial. Archana was booked for obtaining documents such as PAN and Aadhaar cards and also fraudulently obtaining an Indian passport on March 28 last year. Based on a complaint filed by the assistant passport officer, Archana was arrested on November 7, 2019 and her bail petition was dismissed by a sessions court on December 4, 2019.

Born on March 23, 1983 at Tanore, Rajshahi district of Bangladesh, Archana came to India in 2003 to pursue a career in nursing. After obtaining a diploma in general nursing and midwifery at Ranchi in 2006, she worked in many reputed hospitals.

In 2010, she got married to Rajashekaran Krishnamurthy and the marriage was registered at Ranchi. After the wedding, she moved to Bengaluru and obtained PAN, Aadhaar and voter ID cards.

On April 1, 2019, Archana applied for a visa to Bangladesh for herself and her son. During her journey on May 20, 2019, they were detained at Kolkata airport and released later. However, the regional passport office issued a notice revoking Archana’s passport and she was arrested by RT Nagar police on November 7, 2019.
