Udupi, Jan 31: “I am proud of my daughter. Politicians may hate her but people love and respect her…,” says Radhakrishna Shenoy, father of Anupama Shenoy, a senior police officer who was transferred allegedly because of the high-handedness of Minister of State for Labour P.T. Parameshwar Naik.
63-year-old Radhakrishna, who runs a canteen at Uchila village in Udupi district, is confident that her daughter is strong enough to handle tough situations in life.
“I have brought up my children under tremendous hardship. Hence they know how to survive when situations get worse,” he says.
Among his three children, the first son Aravind is an electronics engineer in Malaysia and the other Achutha is a field engineer. After BSc, Anupama completed Masters in Social Work before clearing the KAS examination.
“Anupama was a bright student and always wanted to be an officer. She has reached her position by the dint of her hard work,” Radhakrishna said.
“As a government servant and police officer Anupama has to go wherever she was transferred to by the Police Department. But it is also sad that those who do their work sincerely should be treated in this manner,” he laments.
Radhakrishna has been running the canteen in Uchila for the last 42 years. Though his children want him to stop running the canteen, he said: "I want to be financially independent and will run it till I die." Radhakrishna’s mother is a home maker and she used to roll out beedis until recently.
Parameshwara Naik has reportedly justified transferring Deputy Superintendent of Police of Kudligi sub-division in Ballari district Anupama Shenai for placing his call on hold.

Daughter of a poor man only can show guts to put a minister in his place by putting his call on hold. Kudos Kavita for having made your parents proud and also many citizens like me proud of your courage. Wish there are more (if not all) police officers and civil servants like you. Salute.
