Yathish, belonging to Davangere in Karnataka, had quit his job as an electronics engineer to join IPS. His wife Shyamala is a software engineer.

Yathish became a star on social media following his interventions in the Puthuvype agitation, Angamaly hartal and Sabarimala women’s entry issue. His take on the protestors at Sabarimala without provocation and lecture to Central Minister Pon Radhakrishnan had sparked a heated debate. A photo of the police officer shaking hands with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a function in Thrissur a few days ago had also become viral.
