Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Minister and underfire BJP leader Ramesh Jarkiholi on Saturday addressed a press conference at his house in the city. During the press conference, he added that he will file a case against Congress Karnataka Chief DK Shivakumar.
The former minister who resigned amidst a sex CD scandal added that he will file a case of atrocity against the state’s Congress chief after his name has now surfaced in the leaked audio clip of the conversation that purportedly took place on the night the sex CD was leaked to television channels.
In the audio clip, the woman is heard telling a man on the other end (said to be her brother) that “DK [Mr. Shivakumar] himself” is meeting her and she had “now come near the house of D. K. Shivakumar” and was going to speak to him.
“Everybody knows who the mastermind is, the parents of the woman in the CD have also confirmed who the mastermind is. I and my family have not cheated any young woman. I will be filing a case of atrocity against DK Shivakumar” Jarkiholi said during the press conference.

According to the police, Mallikarjuna had failed the PSI examination twice and later falsely projected himself as a PSI. He allegedly conducted photo shoots in his hometown, Siraguppa, wearing a police uniform, baton, cap, and shoes, claiming to be serving as a PSI in Bengaluru.
On December 7, the four accused allegedly went to the house of Naveen in the Vidyaranyapura limits, threatened him with a stick and an iron rod, and claimed they had information that he was selling ganja. Under the pretext of searching, they allegedly extorted ₹87,000 through bank transfer, ₹53,000 in cash kept in the house, and ₹2,000 from his wallet.
Following Naveen’s complaint, Vidyaranyapura police registered a case and launched an operation, leading to the arrest of all four accused. Police have seized ₹45,000 in cash and the car used to commit the crime.
Further investigation is underway.
