HD Kumaraswamy masterminded 'sting op' against Siddaramaiah: K'taka minister

Karnataka Minister Krishna Byre Gowda on Monday accused Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy of masterminding the alleged sting operation targeting former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. He claimed the move was intended to damage Siddaramaiah's credibility and shift the blame onto CM DK Shivakumar. This comes after a phone used in the 'sting op' was traced to Kumaraswamy's Delhi residence.
