Mangaluru: Yathish Chandra IPS, who created waves on social media with his stern measures at Sabarimala, is yet again attracting attention with a new look. A video of the Thrissur SP in a ‘mundu’ and shirt taking part as well as dancing at a wedding in Mangaluru has gone viral.
Yathish arrived at the wedding ceremony of the two sons of K S Prasad Panicker, a prominent industrialist in Karnataka who is also the police officer’s relative, in a silk ‘mundu’ and shirt. When Yathish danced to a song, the guests, who included celebrities from Malayalam and Kannada film industries as well as top politicians, were pleasantly surprised.
Soon after the dance, there was a rush to click selfies with Yathish.
The video was released by Leo Media.
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.
