Honey trap allegation: Minister, MLC-son yet to lodge complaint with Karnataka police
The Hindu
Home Minister G. Parameshwara told reporters in Bengaluru that the police had made preliminary preparations to start the high-level probe, but Cooperation Minister K.N. Rajanna is yet to lodge a complaint. He is in favour of Mr. Rajanna filing a complaint at the earliest.
Though Congress MLC Rajendra Rajanna said he would complain to Director General and Inspector General of Police of Karnataka, his father and Cooperation Minister K.N. Rajanna is yet to decide on the controversial issue.
“Currently I am busy with official work since the financial year is drawing to a close. I am focusing on my district and Kolar,” the Minister told reporters in Tumakuru on March 23. He said that he would think of registering a complaint once he reaches Bengaluru after completing his official engagements over the next few days.
However, his son Rajendra Rajanna said that during his meeting with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on March 22 evening, he was told to lodge a complaint with the Director General and Inspector General of Police. “Tomorrow is my birthday. After that, I will seek legal advice and will complain to the DG &IG. I told the Chief Minister that I will abide by his advice whether to wait or to lodge a complaint. He advised me to lodge a complaint with the DG & IG.”

“We cannot keep quiet after the uproar in the Assembly on the honey-trap allegations. A final decision will be taken after discussing with the Chief Minister,” the Home Minister said.
Congress sources said that the development could further embarrass the party.
“He (Mr. Rajanna) seems to be in a Catch 22 situation. By now, he should have registered a complaint. He is likely to get embarrassed either way. If he complains now and the inquiry reveals otherwise, he will be embarrassed. If his allegations are found to be true, then also he will be embarrassed. Those inside the party have objected to him making the allegation on the floor of the House,” a source told The Hindu.
