PoliticsPhoto: Hindustan TimesKarnataka Sting Operation Row: Kumaraswamy Demands Probe
The Karnataka sting operation controversy intensified as Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy demanded an independent investigation into claims that compromising videos were used to oust former CM Siddaramaiah. Kumaraswamy accused CM D K Shivakumar of orchestrating the operation and alleged police targeting of JD(S) workers. The state Cabinet discussed the issue but did not form a Special Investigation Team. A Bengaluru court barred media from circulating the videos. The allegations remain unproven with denials from Shivakumar and Congress.
