‘FATHER HELD CAPTIVE, JARKIHOLI ALREADY DESTROYING EVIDENCE’ The woman has alleged in her letter, dated 28 March, that Jarkiholi has “held her father captive” and that the former minister
"has already started destroying evidence regarding offences in every possible way." She further added that Jarkiholi "is openly threatening" her and that he can "go
to any extent to prevent me from approaching the investigating agency and also in preventing me in making any statement about the commission of offences against him." JARKIHOLI BLAMES
SHIVAKUMAR Ramesh Jarkiholi, on Friday last week, was booked in connection with the sex-for-jobs case. The Cubbon Park police have booked the former minister under sections 354A (Sexual
harassment and punishment for sexual harassment), 417 (Punishment for cheating), 506 (criminal intimidation), 504 (intentional insult), 376 C (Sexual intercourse by person in authority) of
the Indian Penal Code, and Section 67A (Punishment for publishing or transmitting of material containing sexually explicit acts) of the Information Technology Act. A day later, Jarkiholi
addressed the media and alleged that Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar of ‘framing’ him in the controversy and that an audio conversation that surfaced on Saturday showed that the
woman and her family had discussed meeting the Congress leader. The woman's family had also blamed DK Shivakumar, accusing him of playing "dirty politics" by using their
daughter. After appearing before the SIT, her father and brother had said that Shivakumar would be responsible if anything happened to their family and urged him to send their daughter, who
is at an undisclosed location, back to them. DK Shivakumar has denied the allegations, stating that he had never met the woman. He said that efforts were being made to shut the case and
added that the law will take its own course.
