Six Ministers seek injunction orders on media from ‘defamatory content’

Six Ministers - all recent defectors from Congress and JD(S) to BJP - have sought injunction orders from the city court against publication of any defamatory content against them. This comes days after a video allegedly showing the intimate moments of Ramesh Jarkiholi with a woman was leaked to the media, forcing him to resign as Minister, and amidst speculations and claims by a few activists of more such incriminating CDs in existence, raising eyebrows. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Google have been made parties in the petitions apart from a long list of media houses in the State.
