The complainant, Yashaswini Gowda, who is known locally as the “Lady Don,” has submitted a formal complaint along with chat records to senior police officials, raising concerns about misconduct within the force.

Gowda has accused Konanakunte Police Inspector Papanna of harassment, claiming he sent her objectionable messages, including expressions of affection and inappropriate comments. She also alleged that the officer frequently called her and questioned her when she did not respond.
Speaking outside the Commissioner’s Office, Gowda said the inspector asked her to address him in a personal manner instead of using formal titles. She questioned the conduct of the officer, especially since a rowdy sheet had reportedly been opened against her in the past.

According to Gowda, the alleged behaviour has continued over a period of time. She said she had attempted to raise the issue earlier but no action was taken.
She also claimed that previous complaints were dismissed and that she was discouraged from pursuing the matter further. Gowda alleged that cases had been filed against her in the past, making it difficult for her to seek redress.
Gowda’s lawyer, Naresh, said that chat records submitted to authorities include messages where the officer allegedly used informal and personal terms while communicating with her.
He questioned whether such conduct was acceptable within the police system and called for a fair inquiry. He also raised concerns about the handling of earlier complaints and possible misuse of authority.
The Bengaluru City Police has not yet issued an official response to the allegations. Officials are expected to review the complaint and the submitted evidence before deciding on further action.
