Karanataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar demanded the resignation of state Home Minister Araga Jnanendra over the police sub-inspectors (PSI) recruitment scam.
Speaking to India Today, Shivakumar said, “The home minister had claimed that no one is involved in the scam in the assembly, but the entire government machinery is involved. We demand the resignation of the home minister."

Responding to Shivakumar’s remark, Araga Jnanendra said, "I won't talk much about Shivakumar's statement. When such misconduct happened during their (Congress) time, they didn't make any arrests or take action. But we've done that. We've arrested an ADGP rank officer.”
“I have not received a report from the CID on the investigations," Araga Jnanendra told India Today.
