Days after the sleaze CD surfaced and created a political storm, the woman allegedly involved in the scandal appeared before the magistrate in a remand court hall in Vasanth Nagar on Tuesday afternoon and gave her statement.
According to K N Jagadesh Kumar, the advocate representing the woman, she reportedly told the magistrate that Ramesh Jarkiholi promised her a job and abused her.
The woman gave her statement before the judge for more than two hours before going with the Special Investigation Team (SIT) for further procedures.
Jagadesh Kumar said she had been taken by SIT officials upon agreeing to appear before them to give her statement. The advocate demanded officials arrest the accused immediately and show their impartiality.
The woman's statement before the court is yet to be known as no one was allowed inside the court hall. Her statement was recorded from 3 pm to 5 pm, according to sources.
SIT officials are questioning the woman and recording her statement at the Adugodi Technical Cell.
Police had deployed around 100 men at the remand court in Guru Nanak Bhavan, Vasanth Nagar, for security. The woman arrived in a private vehicle escorted by a female police officer.
