Karnataka sex scandal: Woman seeks protection after alleged threats by Ramesh Jarkiholi #IndiaNEWS #National
Bangalore: In yet other twist to the sex scandal allegedly involving former Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi, an unauthenticated letter said to have been written by the woman in the purported video to the Chief Justice of the Karnataka High Court requesting to personally supervise the investigation, has surfaced.
In a three-page letter dated March 28, the woman has requested the court to take note of the threat she is facing in this matter and to take up the case and direct the Karnataka government to provide her protection and render her justice. The woman has alleged that the SIT, which is probing the case, is completely acting to the tunes of Ramesh Jarkiholi. She also alleged that the Karnataka government is also protecting Jarkiholi, , and hence she has not gained confidence in the investigation agency.
Claiming to be a rape victim, having filed a complaint against Ramesh Jarkiholi at the Cubbon Park Police Station, where FIR has been registered, the woman said, “Jarkiholi is highly influential person and has already threatened me in public, of going to any extent to clear my charges against him. I have already expressed my apprehension that there is a threat to myself and my parents from Ramesh Jarkiholi, who is a highly influential person I have requested the Special Investigation Team seeking protection for myself and my parents.
The woman alleged that despite her apprehension, the SIT has not given any protection to her and parents so far. She said she has learnt that Jarkiholi has already used his influence through SIT and caused serious threat to her parents and has forced them using criminal force to prevent her from appearing before the Honble Magistrate in pursuing the complaint and preventing her from making any statement against him. Jarkiholi is having criminal antecedents, and has already started destroying evidence regarding offences in every possible way, she added.
