Justan hour after former BJP minister Ramesh Jarakiholi lodged a complaint againstunknown people on Saturday, accusing them of hatching a conspiracy against him,another video clip of the woman, who claimed to have been featured in the CD,surfaced on social media in which she could be seen urging the Karnatakagovernment to provide protection to her.
Thisis the first time that the woman has come out in the open after the sleaze CDepisode came to light on March 2.
Inthe 34-second video clip in Kannada, the woman stated that this message is forKarnataka Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai. The source and origin of the video isyet to be verified.
"Ido not know how and what they did with the video. Since the release of this(sleaze CD) video, my modesty has been outraged while my family's reputation isgone forever. Several people are coming and questioning me and my parents aboutthis. We are looked down upon," she said.
Shefurther alleged that the CD went public from their side (Jarakiholi) and notfrom her side. "Ever since the video came in public domain, I tried tocommit suicide at least three or four times while my parents tried to end theirlives about two times," she added.
"Nobodyis there to protect our family. We don't have any political support. It wasRamesh Jarakiholi who lured me with a job offer, and now this video has comeout from their side. I do not know how this (video) was recorded," shesaid.
Sheadded: "I don't have protection. All that I ask you (Bommai) is to give meprotection." She stressed that she was not aware how the video wasrecorded.
Thevideo message has come to light on a day the police registered a case of extortionand conspiracy against unknown people following a complaint lodged byJarkiholi.
Followingthe video message of the woman, Jarkiholi rushed to Bommai's residence andreacted that the woman's allegations against him were proof that he was beingframed by his political rivals.
"Iam innocent, I know that for sure. This is a fake CD. I will face it. Let hercome out in the open and complain," he said, adding that only a fool canrelease such a video at the cost of reputation.
"Withinan hour after I lodged my complaint, she surfaced in another video. This itselfis a clear case of political conspiracy. This is just a part of a bigconspiracy against me," he said.
Respondingto the woman's claims, Bommai said that he had not yet seen the video. "Ihave learnt about this video only through you (media). I am told that thevictim's family is facing death threats. I have directed the SIT chief toprovide them with adequate security. The SIT will investigate the matter fromevery possible angle," he said.
Afterthe sleaze CD became public on March 2, the Karnataka government formed aSpecial Investigation Team (SIT) headed by Additional Police Commissioner(West), Soumendu Mukherjee.
TheSIT was formed after a CD was released to news channels in which Jarakiholi wasallegedly seen in a compromising position with a woman, which went viral,costing him his ministerial berth.
