Bengaluru, March 28, 2025: The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has been asked to probe the honey-trapping allegation levelled by Cooperation Minister KN Rajanna, top sources in the Karnataka police said on Thursday.

According to the sources, Alok Mohan, the Director General and Inspector General of Police (DG&IGP) and the Head of Police Force (HoPF), forwarded Rajanna’s petition to the DGP of the CID, MA Saleem, on Wednesday. The CID has been asked to inquire into the allegation.
