Bengaluru: After former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that whosoever is claiming to have intimate video of high profile politicians in the state must be arrested, RTI activist Dinesh Kallahalli, the complainant in the Ramesh Jarakiholi case welcomed the JDS leader’s statement

“I welcome Kumaraswamy’s statement. Those who are blackmailing should be arrested as soon as possible, I am in support of it,” Kallahalli told reporters as he unexpectedly appeared before the Cubbon Park police station in the city a day after the summon.

On March 2 Kallahalli, who is a social activist, had told reporters, “I have lodged a complaint with police, demanding a probe into a sex scandal involving Ramesh Jarkiholi. The victim woman was offered a job in Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL). Upon reaching the pre-decided location, the woman was sexually assaulted and now is being threatened by the Minister and his people.”
