Following a complaint by former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, an FIR was registered with the CCB Cyber Crime branch. Police tracked suspects using the IP address of the uploaded account and are conducting an intensive interrogation with a DCP-rank officer to trace the mastermind behind the video.
Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy strongly accused the police of detaining and harassing members of the JDS social media wing, questioning the grounds for detaining party worker Shankar and targeting others like Mohan. He stated that they would face the police harassment both politically and legally.
Siddaramaiah filed a complaint with the police commissioner requesting a thorough investigation into the malicious sting videos. Additionally, he moved the civil and sessions court in Bengaluru, which issued an ex-parte interim injunction restraining 42 media outlets and digital platforms from broadcasting or circulating the defamatory clips and links.
