In recent hassle for the BS Yediyurappa authorities in Karnataka, Major and Medium Water Resources Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi has allegedly been caught up in a intercourse scandal. A CD, exhibiting the minister in a compromising place with a girl, was launched to information channels on Tuesday. This comes simply forward of the month-long Budget session in Karnataka and at a time when the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is getting ready to face elections in 5 states/UTs. The CD was launched by social activist Dinesh Kallahalli after he filed a grievance with Bengaluru City police commissioner Kamal Pant.
After submitting the grievance, Kallahalli instructed reporters that he has sought assist from the police to know the veracity of the contents of the CD and a few audio clips, during which a ‘highly effective minister’ is threatening the sufferer and her relations.
“I also sought police protection for the victim and her immediate family members as they are living under ‘tremendous’ threat,” he stated.
All all through his media interplay, he was cautious to not take anybody’s title.
According to Kallahalli, the sufferer met the minister (Jarkiholi) on the pretext of in search of his assist to create documentaries on dams throughout the state.
“For this, she wanted government clearance for drone cameras and other special equipment. During the interaction, the minister (Jarkiholi) told her that instead of running around, she could well be appointed in the Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL). From here on, he starts seeking sexual favours from her. Finally, she also yielded, but prior to getting close to him, she set up a trap and the whole episode was recorded by hidden cameras,” he defined.
Kallahalli maintained that the sufferer isn’t prepared to come back ahead and file a case fearing her and her household’s security. “Fed up with the minister’s harassment, one of the family members approached me some time ago and urged me to take up this case by filing a complaint in order to teach the minister a befitting lesson,” he claimed.
According to Kallahalli, he’s going to maintain the sufferer’s title underneath the wraps till ‘she gathers some braveness’ to face the individuals and the media.
On repeated queries on which minister he filed the grievance towards, Kallahalli stated that within the CD it is vitally clear who the minister is. “Why do you want me to take his name,” he requested.
Answering a query as as to if the CD was part of blackmail ways, he stated if it was a part of a blackmail technique, why would he strategy the police commissioner to file a grievance?
“In my complaint, I have also requested the commissioner of police to investigate the blackmail angle, as this involves a powerful minister in the state,” he stated.
Meanwhile, the deputy commissioner of police (central division), MN Anuchet, instructed reporters that the police have registered a grievance within the matter with the Cubbonpark police.
“We will commence our investigation after interacting with the victim and her family. The complainant (Kallahalli) claims that the victim and her family members are under threat. So it becomes all the more pertinent for us to know more details from them,” he stated.
Jarkiholi phrases CD faux, says will not resign
Meanwhile, flatly denying his alleged involvement within the intercourse CD launched by a social activist in Bengaluru, Jarakiholi on Tuesday termed the purported CD as faux and claimed that it was launched to dent his ‘impeccable’ political picture. Speaking to a channel, Jarakiholi stated, “Why would I resign? What for I should resign? What is my mistake? For the last 21 years, I have been in public life and none had pointed even a finger at me. The CD smacks of political vendetta. My political opponents have released the fabricated CD to tarnish my impeccable political image.”
The minister added that if he resigns, it is going to present that he had dedicated the crime. “I will not allow this charge to stick on me. I have spoken with the Chief Minister (BS Yediyurappa) and demanded that he should initiate a high-level probe to expose those who are behind this,” he stated.
The minister added that he was by no means focused within the final 21 years of his public life, however he has been focused solely after becoming a member of the BJP.
“This only means that I am powerful and my rivals want to weaken me by releasing fake videos and audio clips through a social activist,” he stated.
Jarakiholi comes from some of the highly effective political households within the state and is a sugar baron from Belagavi district, the state’s sugar belt.
He is likely one of the 17 defectors from the Congress and the JD(S) whose defection resulted within the collapse of the Congress-JD(S) authorities within the state in 2019, resulting in the formation of the BJP authorities. He was one of many major forces behind rallying 17 MLAs from each events earlier than they joined the BJP.
