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.

anupama63-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.

Shivamogga, Feb 1: A three-year-old girl who fell out of a moving vehicle had a miraculous escape in Agumbe Ghat section in Teerthahalli taluk of Shivamogga district of Karnataka.

The incident took place in the early hours of Friday when 12 members from three different families were returning from a tour of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The girl was reunited with her family after 30 minutes of high drama.

The child, identified as Anavi, is believed to have fallen from the vehicle as it negotiated hairpin bends on the Agumbe Ghat road, 350km from Bengaluru. The child's parents, Binu and Lincy, from NR Pura in Chikkamagaluru district, and other family members reportedly dozed off and did not realize the child had fallen off the vehicle until they covered a distance of about 20km.

One of the family members noticed that child was missing from the seat next to the door. When the driver realized the door latch had given way, they suspected the child could have slipped out of the vehicle.

Then the family started searching along the road and learnt from a forest guard at the Agumbe checkpost that a missing child was found and it had been handed over to Agumbe police station.

An advocate who identified himself as Vinay spotted the girl child as he passed the deserted stretch minutes after the vehicle left and picked her up and handed her over to Agumbe police.

The child sustained minor injuries in the fall. She was provided medical treatment before she was handed over to the parents.

Sources said it wasn't known how the vehicle door opened. One theory is that the girl could have accidentally unlocked the door while clutching the latch in the bumpy ride on the ghat. Police did not file any complaint.

Similar incident

This incident is almost a rerun of a Kerala incident in which a one-year-old baby fell off a moving jeep and was reunited with its mother hours later in September 2019 in Idukki district.

The baby had slipped off the mother's arms while she dozed off in the vehicle. CCTV footage showed the baby, after falling on the road, crawling towards a lit-up area close by, which turned out to be a forest checkpost. Family realised child was missing after 20km.
