Remember Anupama Shenoy, the senior Karanataka woman cop who was transferred for putting a minister's call on hold earlier this year? Shenoy has resigned from her post. The top cop has now stirred a controversy with three-word post on her Facebook page.

"Resigned and jobless," read Shenoy's post which was followed by a smiling emoticon.

LIQUOR, SAND MAFIA FORCED HER TO RESIGN?

Shenoy, who was posted as Deputy Superintendent of Police, Kudligi sub-division of Ballari district, has cited personal reasons behind her resigning from the post. However, media reports said that the 2010 batch officer's decision to quit came after she had to face protest after she arrested three people constructing a building for a liquor shop.

The officer had also been in news for taking on liquor and sand mafia in her jurisdiction.

WILL LOOK INTO THE MATTER: SIDDARAMAIAH

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said he is aware about Shenoy's resignation but added that he has no information on what actually triggered her resignation. "The officers are looking into that. She has sent her resignation to the DG. Officers are will look into it," Siddaramaiah told reporters.

PAST CONTROVERSIES

Anupama Shenoy was shunted out in January for placing a phone call from a minister on hold.

Shenoy was sent on official duty order (OOD) by the Karnataka home department a few days after she unintentionally put minister PT Parameshwara Naik's call on hold on January 18.

Furious over the incident, Naik, reported the matter to Home Minister and Karnataka chief G Parameshwara. She was shunted soon after. The minister was also caught on camera bragging about how he "taught the officer a lesson."

The incident had triggered a massive outrage with the Opposition BJP leading the attack on the ruling Congress. Shenoy was reinstated in February.
