Woman in Siddaramaiah video denies knowing former Karnataka CM

The woman at the centre of a video purportedly involving former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has denied any prior acquaintance with the political figure, according to statements given to investigating officers. The Central Crime Branch (CCB), which is probing the clip, recorded her statement as part of its inquiry initiated following a formal complaint lodged by Siddaramaiah himself.

The investigation into the video's authenticity and circumstances of its creation is ongoing. The CCB has been tasked with examining the origins of the footage and verifying claims made in connection with the matter.

Siddaramaiah, who served as Chief Minister of Karnataka until recently, filed the complaint after the video surfaced. The former chief minister's move to approach authorities has prompted a formal criminal investigation into the incident.

Details regarding the exact nature of the video and the specific allegations remain under investigation. The police are expected to conduct further inquiries and statements from other individuals connected to the matter as the probe progresses.
