What began with two videos targeting Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has escalated into a political confrontation involving the Congress leadership and JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy. Bengaluru Police are investigating the alleged role of three people linked to Kumaraswamy's office in procuring the phone used to circulate one of the videos. The police have clarified that the investigation does not establish Kumaraswamy's direct involvement.
