According to the complaint, the former minister took her cell phone number. "...told me he would call. Then he made a call and inquired about me and my family and started talking to me," the complaint read.

The woman further said Jarkiholi asked her to "cooperate in all forms" and "he would give a government job using his influence."

"I believed he will give me a job," she said.

She further alleged that Jarkiholi contacted her over a video call and asked her to "take-off" her clothes among other innuendoes.

"I did exactly what he said," she claimed in the complaint.

The woman in question also added that the BJP leader invited her to visit his residence in Bengaluru to "talk about work".

She said Jarkiholi 'made sexual contact' by promising a government job. She said Jarkiholi cheated her

"I went to his apartment. He talked to me vulgarly, took me to his room and had sex," alleged the woman adding that she had visited him twice on the invitation.

According to the complainant, the minister tried to avoid conversation regarding his 'promise of government job' and offered her money instead.

Jarkiholi puts on a tough face

Jarkiholi, seemingly unscathed by the allegations said he will face them legally.

"I don't care if ten more videos are released. What the young woman was doing if she wanted to file a complaint?, commented former minister Ramesh Jarakiholi on another CD-based statement released by the lady. Let her complain through her lawyer. We also have lawyers, I am going to visit them now," he said.

"Why should I get bail? This is a conspiracy against me. She could have filed a complaint that day itself. So many things have come out now, wait and watch, he said.

Meanwhile, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the case has issued another notice to the woman. The notice was issued through a lawyer to the young woman to attend the trial.

Jarakiholi could be arrested only after the complainant makes an official statement before the officials.
