Bengaluru: The wife of a journalist has been summoned by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the CD-gate, purportedly involving former minister Ramesh Jarkiholi.

The woman summoned by the police is suspected to be the mastermind of the incident.

As per SIT sources the journalist, who was working with a regional news television channel and a resident of Sira taluk in Tumakuru, has been absconding for the last one week.

“The transactions in his bank account and other clues have made us suspect that he has played a key role. His wife, who has been summoned to appear before the investigating officer, will be questioned about his activities,” an official said.

The SIT also raided an advertising agency on Monday, March 15, and seized some incriminating documents.
