Bengaluru, 9 November

Expelled Congress leader Kripa Alva was questioned by the Central Crime Branch (CCB) in Bengaluru on Monday in connection with the investigation into the sting videos linked to former chief minister Siddaramaiah. 

Siddaramaiah had named Kripa Alva and Power TV’s Managing Director Rakesh Shetty in the sting videos. 

Alva is a political leader from Dakshina Kannada. She was expelled from the Congress for six years for ‘anti-party’ activities after Siddaramaiah named her in his complaint. Siddaramaiah has also obtained an injunction order against the circulation of the allegedly fabricated videos. 

Police reportedly questioned Alva for over 2.5 hours, and she left after securing bail.
