BENGALURU: In a sudden turnaround of events, activist Dinesh Kallahalli who had last week petitioned the police that water resources minister Ramesh Jarkiholi was allegedly sexually exploiting a woman in return for a government job on Sunday withdrew his complaint.
Kalahalli said he was withdrawing his complaint because he was disappointed with the developments that followed his petition to police.
Handing over a letter to Cubbon Park police through his legal counsel Kumar Patil, Kallahalli said that he was disappointed with the statements of a few politicians and by the state s action treating both the victim and the messenger like criminals.
Former Karnataka chief minister and JDS leader HD Kumaraswamy has made an explosive claim saying there is a Rs 5 crore deal involved in the alleged sex-for-job scam in which former minister Ramesh Jarkiholi has been caught.
The resignation was expected as the BJP was caught in an embarrassing position with the budget session of the state legislature set to begin on Thursday
