Kumaraswamy questions Karnataka probe into Siddaramaiah sting video, says ready for any inquiry

Senior Karnataka minister H.D. Kumaraswamy publicly challenged the ongoing police probe into a video that allegedly shows former chief minister Siddaramaiah in a compromising situation. In his statement, Kumaraswamy asked whether the investigation is being conducted to establish the truth or merely to give Siddaramaiah a clean chit.

He added that he is ready to face any inquiry that may arise from the case, signalling his willingness to cooperate while questioning the motives behind the investigation. The remarks come as the police continue to examine the authenticity of the footage and its implications for state politics.

Kumaraswamy's comments have sparked a debate within Karnataka's political circles, with opposition leaders urging a transparent and impartial inquiry, while supporters of Siddaramaiah call for a swift conclusion to clear his name.
