Woman's Family Alleges Congress Leader Behind Karnataka Sex Tape Scandal

Mr Jarkiholi also named Mr Shivakumar for the first time in the case.

The ''sex scandal'' allegedly involving former minister Ramesh Jarkiholi took a new twist on Saturday with the parents of the woman in the alleged video accusing State Congress chief D K Shivakumar of playing "dirty politics" by using their daughter. Mr Jarkiholi also named Mr Shivakumar for the first time in the case. Mr Shivakumar on his part, however, said, he had nothing to do with the case as he had never met the woman. Following the developments, the woman released a video statement, her fifth, and claimed her parents were speaking under the influence of someone. She also sought help from Chief Minister Yediyurappa, Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai, Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah and Mr Shivakumar to give her statement about the injustice done to her before a judge.
