Bengaluru, 24 October

Home Minister Priyank Kharge on Saturday said that everyone involved in the alleged criminal conspiracy behind a sting operation, starting from the source, would be exposed in a few, asserting that the investigation was underway and would be completed transparently and without political interference.

"It is just a matter of time before everybody is exposed—who did the criminal conspiracy, where it happened, how it happened, who did the sting, why they did it, how it got into someone's hands after so many years, how it was suddenly uploaded, how the publicity happened, everything," Priyank told reporters. "We will trace it from the source and expose it in a few days.” 

"The investigation would establish the sequence of events surrounding the material, which reportedly dates back to 2011 and was allegedly recorded in 2023 before emerging in 2026,” he added. "There is no escaping it; the charge sheet must be filed. We have to submit it to the court.” 

On the alleged use of smart glasses to record covert videos during meetings with senior government officials, Kharge said such practices raised ethical concerns and called for respect for established protocols when meeting ministers and other dignitaries.

Kharge said, "And when anybody comes to meet a senior cabinet minister or the chief minister, it is not ethical to have camera glasses or anything on."
