The woman's parents and brothers today appeared before the Special Investigation Team which is probing the scandal.

They were subjected to almost six hours of questioning on their complaint of kidnap and the woman's video clip. "..we have evidence, we have spoken to officials (SIT) and have given it to them, we will give it to you (media) as well. My daughter is an example of politics being played using a Schedule Tribe (ST) woman," the woman's father told reporters after appearing before the SIT. "If anything happens to our family, D K Shivakumar is responsible for it," he said.
