Kumaraswamy Alleges D.K. Shivakumar Conspired in Hassan Sleaze CD Scandal
Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has released call detail records linking a key accused in the Prajwal Revanna explicit video distribution case to Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. The explosive allegation escalates the political confrontation surrounding the high-profile scandal.
- H.D. Kumaraswamy presented call records alleging direct links between a primary suspect and the state's Deputy Chief Minister.
- The controversy centers around the illicit circulation of explicit materials involving former MP Prajwal Revanna in Hassan.
- The unfolding scandal threatens to intensify political friction between rival factions in Karnataka.
BENGALURU — Union Minister and prominent Janata Dal (Secular) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy launched a major political salvo on Tuesday, publicly accusing Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar of orchestrating a clandestine conspiracy involving the dissemination of explicit video compact discs in Hassan.
The explosive allegations revolve around the massive political fallout from the distribution of illicit digital content targeting Prajwal Revanna, the embattled former Member of Parliament. During a press briefing, Mr. Kumaraswamy exhibited official Call Detail Records to substantiate his claims, asserting that an individual identified as Karthik—listed as the second accused in the illicit distribution network—maintained direct communication channels with high-ranking state leadership.
According to investigative disclosures highlighted by The Hindu, these newly surfaced digital footprints threaten to entangle senior political figures in a scandal that has already rocked the regional and national landscape. While the opposition camp has seized upon these revelations to demand accountability, representatives for the ruling administration have yet to issue a formal rebuttal addressing the specific telecommunication evidence presented.
