Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy on Sunday (October 11, 2026) questioned Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar’s failure to initiate an investigation into the alleged sting operation targeting five Karnataka Cabinet Ministers, demanding that the details be made public.

Seeking a probe into the alleged sting operation, the JD(S) leader asked, “Why have you remained silent despite having information about the sting operation? Why is no investigation being conducted?”

Speaking to reporters after attending the 123rd birth anniversary celebrations of ‘Lok Nayak’ Bharat Ratna Jayaprakash Narayan at the JD(S) headquarters, JP Bhavan, Mr. Kumaraswamy said there was information about an alleged sting operation involving five Cabinet Ministers and questioned why no action had been taken if wrongdoing had occurred. He demanded that the Chief Minister disclose who was behind the operation, who had summoned the individuals involved and instructed them to conduct it, and what evidence had been gathered.
