Former Karnataka chief minister H. D. Kumaraswamy staged a dharna outside the Bengaluru Police Commissioner’s office on Tuesday, demanding a probe into a sting operation that has raised questions about corruption in the state. The protest was held in front of the Commissioner’s building on 5th Block, Bengaluru, with Kumaraswamy and a small group of supporters holding placards. Police officers were present to maintain order, but no incidents were reported. Kumaraswamy’s move is seen as a political statement aimed at pressuring authorities to act on the allegations. The protest is part of his broader campaign to regain influence in Karnataka politics.
