BENGALURU: Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara said on Friday that discussions are underway to hand over the investigation into the alleged Hubballi woman stripping case to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and that the case will be transferred to the CID after obtaining the Chief Minister’s approval.
Speaking to reporters at the Home Office in Bengaluru, he said the CID must investigate the truth behind the incident and submit a report to the government.
“After that, the government will take a decision after examining who is at fault and whether there was any negligence in the incident, ” he said.
He clarified that the police did not allow the woman to be stripped and that they took immediate action. “I have already shared information with the media that the police did not disrobe her and that she did it herself. Even so, the matter needs to be investigated in detail. Only an investigation will bring complete clarity, ” he said.
