Kdo je Kripa Alva, kongresna voditeljica v središču Karnatake?
Kripa Alva, tiskovna predstavnica kongresa iz Mangaluruja, je v središču pravnega in političnega spora v Karnataki glede domnevnega izmišljenega video posnetka, v katerem je bil tarča nekdanji glavni minister Siddaramaiah. Policija je Alvo zaslišala v nedeljo po pritožbi Siddaramaiahja, ki trdi, da je bil video ustvarjen za izsiljevanje in obrekovanje njega. Alva, ki je bila predsednica Državne komisije za varstvo otrok v Karnataki od leta 2015 do leta 2018, je v posnetku iz leta 2023 slišati skupaj z Rakeshom Shettyjem, poslovodnim direktorjem Power TV. Sin Siddaramaiahove, Yathindra, trdi, da je Alva organizirala incident, da bi si zagotovila strankovno vozovnico za prihajajoče volitve v skupščino, kar je vodilo Karnataka kongresno enoto, da ji izda obvestilo o vzroku. Državno sodišče v Bengaluru je 13. oktobra medijskim organizacijam ukazalo, naj blokirajo širjenje videa, saj je navedlo potencialno nepopravljivo škodo za ugled Siddaramaiahja. Opozicijski voditelj H.D. Kumaraswamy je kritiziral kongres, obtoževal je, da so se višji člani stranke zavedali namena napada in da je Janata Dal (sekularna stranka) tarča.
Janata Dal (Secular) leader and Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy reversed his previous opposition to police inquiries on Sunday, instructing his party workers to cooperate fully with the investigation into an alleged fake sting operation targeting former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Kumaraswamy, who had earlier sought the arrest of a television channel executive for recording the video in 2023, told his social media team and war room staff to attend police summons and provide requested equipment. This shift followed comments by Karnataka Home Minister Priyanka Kharge, who suggested that JD(S) leadership was shielding its workers from the probe. The move also coincided with allegations by Siddaramaiah and his son, Yathindra, that Congress insiders played a role in the incident. Kumaraswamy stated that his youth should not fear the investigation and urged them to go when called by the police. He claimed to possess internal information about the proceedings and noted that he had reviewed the statements made by Siddaramaiah and his son. Despite urging cooperation, the JD(S) leader set a new five-day deadline for the investigation to yield results, specifically demanding action against the managing director of a private TV channel and others involved in the 2023 recording. He described the situation as one of several serious problems facing Karnataka and expressed skepticism about the current direction of the police work. Bengaluru police have issued notices dated October 13 and October 23 to two JD(S) war room and social media unit workers, Chandan H.S. and Mohan Gowda, asking them to participate in the investigation. The legal basis for the probe stems from a police complaint filed by Siddaramaiah on October 6. In the First Information Report, Siddaramaiah alleged that unidentified individuals operating a YouTube channel named Karnataka Honey Trap spread a fabricated video shot in 2023. The complaint asserted that the video contained false and malicious allegations designed to damage his public honor and personal life. Preliminary police findings indicate that JD(S) personnel were involved in uploading the 2023 footage to social media on September 27, 2026. Central Crime Branch officials arrested Ritesh Pandey, a 22-year-old resident of Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, in connection with the case. Pandey allegedly uploaded the video and told investigators that a person associated with the JD(S) social media team instructed him to do so. According to police, the video was handed to Pandey on a pen drive, which he then transferred to a second-hand mobile phone purchased specifically for the task. Pandey was produced in court and subsequently released on bail. Based on his testimony, police are now searching for two other individuals, including a former journalist, who are allegedly linked to the JD(S) IT cell and suspected of providing the storage device to Pandey. Congress leader Kripa Alva, a spokesperson from Mangaluru in Dakshina Kannada district, appeared before the Central Crime Branch on Sunday for questioning. Alva, 60, served as the chairperson of the Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights from 2015 to 2018 during Siddaramaiah’s first term as Chief Minister. She entered politics after her husband, Amar Alva, was killed in 1992 in a gang-related shooting. Alva founded the Amar Alva Charitable Trust and joined the Congress Party later, though she failed to secure a party ticket for elections in Dakshina Kannada. Police summoned her after a video surfaced showing her alongside Rakesh Shetty, the managing director of Power TV, during the 2023 sting operation. Siddaramaiah has explicitly accused both Alva and Shetty of orchestrating the fabrication. Yathindra Siddaramaiah alleged that Alva engineered the sting to secure a party ticket for the Puttur constituency in upcoming assembly elections. The Karnataka Congress unit has issued Alva a show-cause notice. Attempts to contact Alva for comment were unsuccessful, with her phone reportedly switched off for three days prior to her police appearance. Sources confirmed she was allowed to leave after her statement was recorded and was not arrested. The controversy has expanded beyond the initial video dispute. On Saturday, Home Minister Priyanka Kharge criticized the use of camera-enabled Meta smart glasses in official settings. He supported Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar’s allegation that unidentified visitors wearing such devices had raised suspicions of covert recording during meetings. Shivakumar recounted an encounter with a businessman who wore Meta glasses during a discussion about election booth management, despite not wearing them when meeting other state leaders. Shivakumar stated he had warned his cabinet members to be cautious of potential sting targets. Kharge declared that using camera glasses to secretly record dignitaries is unethical and violates protocol. He predicted that the investigation would expose the conspiracy, identifying who conducted the sting, why it was done, and how the video resurfaced after years. Kharge noted the timeline complexity, citing reports that the underlying incident dates to 2011, the recording to 2023, and the public release to 2026. A Bengaluru civil court issued a restraining order on October 13, prohibiting media organizations and digital platforms from publishing or circulating the videos and related material. The court directed that access to the content be blocked, accepting Siddaramaiah’s argument that the footage was intended to cause irreparable reputational harm. The legal and political fallout has intensified factional tensions within the Congress party. Kumaraswamy accused Chief Minister Shivakumar and other Congress leaders of knowing the motive behind the sting and targeting the JD(S). He alleged that specific police officers were appointed to manage the case in a manner that favored the state government. Meanwhile, G. Parameshwara, a senior Congress leader, stated that Siddaramaiah may have consulted the party high command regarding the Public Accounts Committee, suggesting internal deliberations on political strategy amidst the crisis.

Centralna kriminalistična enota v Karnataki je zaslišala vodjo kongresa Kripo Alvo glede domnevne operacije proti nekdanjemu glavnemu ministru Siddaramaiahju. Alva, ki zastopa okrožje Dakshina Kannada, se je večkrat pojavil pred preiskovalci, nazadnje v soboto, in je bil izpuščen po izjavi, ne da bi bil aretiran. Preiskavo je sprožil videoposnetek, ki naj bi Alvo prikazoval skupaj z Rakeshom Shettyjem, direktorjem Power TV. Policija je že aretirala Ritesha Pandeya, 22-letnega prebivalca Ghaziabada, ki je trenutno zunaj na varščino. Na podlagi Pandeyjeve izjave oblasti iščejo še dva posameznika, vključno z nekdanjim novinarjem, povezanim z IT celico Janata Dal (Sekularno), ki je domnevno priskrbel pendrive, ki vsebuje dokaze v zvezi z incidentom.

Vodja stranke Janata Dal (sekularni) H.D. Kumaraswamy je ukazal svojim strankarskim delavcem, naj sodelujejo s preiskavo policije v Bengaluru glede širjenja domnevnega ponarejenega video posnetka, v katerem je bil napaden bivši glavni minister Siddaramaiah. Ta direktiva pomeni premik od Kumaraswamyjevega prejšnjega nasprotovanja zaslišanju osebja JD (S), ki je prišlo po tem, ko je minister za notranje zadeve Priyanka Kharge partijo obtožila, da ščiti svoje člane. Polemika izvira iz videa iz leta 2023, ki ga je posnel lokalni televizijski kanal, ki je bil nedavno naložen na YouTube kanal z imenom 'Karnataka Honey Trap', zaradi česar je Siddaramaiah vložil policijsko pritožbo zaradi domnevne obrekovanja. Kumaraswamy podpira sodelovanje, hkrati pa je postavil petdnevni rok, v katerem morajo oblasti ukrepati proti direktorju televizijskega kanala, za katerega meni, da je organiziral izvirni posnetek. Policija je že poslala obvestila dvema socialnim medijskim delavcem JD ((S) glede njihove vpletene v širjenje videa.

Vodjo Indijskega nacionalnega kongresa so oblasti zaslišale zaradi kontroverznega videa o "stingu operaciji". Incident je povezan z obtožbami, ki jih je vložil Siddaramaiah, ki je trdil, da sta Kripa in Rakesh Shetty, ki sta bila identificirana kot poslovodja kanadskega televizijskega kanala Power TV, odgovorna za načrtovanje napada.

Karnatakijski minister za notranje zadeve Priyank Kharge je izjavil, da je uporaba pametnih očal Meta, ki so opremljene s kamerami, za skrivno snemanje srečanj z vladnimi uradniki neetična in krši standardne protokole. Ta izjava je sledila obtožbam glavnega ministra D. K. Shivakumarja, da so neznani obiskovalci nosili take naprave med zasebnimi sestanki, kar je povzročilo sum koordiniranih operacij proti vodstvu države. Shivakumar je opisal incident, ko je obiskovalec trdil, da govori o poslu, namesto tega pa je govoril o upravljanju volilnih stojnic, pri čemer je omenil, da je posameznik nosil posebne očala le, ko se je srečal z nekaterimi političnimi osebnostmi. Glavni minister je potrdil, da je opozoril svoj kabinet o možnih grožnjah nadzora in da so bili izvedeni previdnostni ukrepi, čeprav ni bilo formalne pritožbe v zvezi s posebnim incidentom vložene pri kazenskih organih. Situacija se je pojavila med širšimi političnimi napetostmi v Karnataki, vključno s spori glede domnevnih ponarejenih video posnetkov in obtožbami med nasprotnimi političnimi frakcijami.
