His remarks followed his demand for a CBI probe into an alleged sting video targeting former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Kumaraswamy stated that a social media team member named Shankar was taken away by police without any formal case registered against him, while another member, Mohan, and his family faced harassment. He called for a fair inquiry into the sting operation controversy instead of pressure tactics against party workers.
