Sting video row revives Shivakumar-Siddaramaiah rift in Karnataka

An alleged sting video targeting former Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah has reopened rifts in the Congress, four months after D K Shivakumar replaced him. Siddaramaiah and his son, Minister Yathindra, called it fake and hinted party insiders helped Power TV MD Rakesh Shetty, seen as close to Shivakumar, film it in 2023. Shetty has received interim bail.
