Woman’s family, Jarkiholi accuse Shivakumar of ‘using’ her for political ends
The Hindu
Shivakumar denies any role in the episode
Launching a frontal attack on KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar, the family of the woman allegedly seen in the CD in the Ramesh Jarkiholi sexual abuse case, on Saturday said it was an instance of a “Scheduled Tribe girl” being used as a pawn in a political game. Minutes later, Mr. Jarkiholi spoke to the press and said it was clear now who was behind the conspiracy and that the leader named by the family was “unfit to continue in politics”. Attacking Mr. Shivakumar, without naming him but using a term of abuse, he said he would book an atrocity case against him and bring him to book. Meanwhile, Mr. Shivakumar, campaigning in neighbouring Tamil Nadu for the elections, denied any role in the episode.
