The ruling party legislator claims that ‘till yesterday night, D.K. Shivakumar tried to threaten me saying that he would release CDs to malign my reputation. But I told him I am not afraid’
BJP MLA Ramesh Jarkiholi alleged that his political opponents were threatening to release some CDs that could damage his reputation.
In March 2021, an activist approached Bengaluru police seeking an investigation against then Minister for Major and Medium Irrigation Ramesh Jarkiholi for allegedly abusing a woman and seeking sexual favours from her in return for a government job.
Clips of intimate moments, purportedly between the woman and the Minister, and some telephone conversations went viral on social media.
