CID row: SIT probe will reveal truth, says Satish Jarkiholi

Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) Working President Satish Jarkiholi said that the SIT probe into the sleaze CD of former minister Ramesh Jarkiholi would reveal the truth behind the incident.

Speaking to media persons in Dharwad on Sunday, Satish said that if there was a conspiracy hatched to malign Ramesh, it would be unearthed by the investigating team. "There should not be any hurry in taking this case to an end. An FIR has been registered two days back and everyone should have patience till there is a breakthrough," he added.

Stating that the CD row is taking new twists and turns every day, Satish said that police have to take this to a logical end. "They have 90 days to file the charge sheet and as the investigation is still in the initial stage, it would be immature to comment anything on the issue," he said.

The Congress leader said that the police were on the lookout for the woman, allegedly seen in the video, and expressed confidence that justice would prevail.

To a query on whether the CD was fake Satish said that nothing can be said at this point in time. "Law will take its own course. No person is above law and the truth will be revealed after a detailed probe," he said.
