BENGALURU — Senior Janata Dal (Secular) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy escalated regional political tensions on Tuesday by openly challenging law enforcement authorities to arrest him in connection with an ongoing sting operation controversy. Speaking to media personnel, the former Chief Minister launched a scathing attack against the state apparatus, asserting that local law enforcement lacked the courage to pursue legal proceedings against him.
The public showdown stems from a fiercely contested political scandal involving explicit videos allegedly featuring Prajwal Revanna, which triggered massive public outrage and a complex criminal investigation. The scandal has served as a central battleground between the ruling Congress administration and the opposition JD(S)-BJP alliance, severely straining political stability across Karnataka.
According to reports by The Hindu, Kumaraswamy aggressively pointed fingers at Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, accusing him of orchestrating a deliberate conspiracy to circulate the controversial footage. Furthermore, the opposition leader alleged that the Bengaluru Police Commissioner was functioning as a political instrument for the Chief Minister, casting severe doubts on the impartiality and objectivity of the current investigative proceedings.
