On Friday, Karnataka Cooperative Minister KN Rajanna made a sensational claim that “CD factories” were operating in the state, leading to honey trap incidents. He even stated that he had evidence to back his allegations. However, by Tuesday, he completely retracted his statement.

While the official did not disclose when Kunal Kamra, accused of making defamatory remarks against Shinde, has been summoned, sources said the comic has sought one week’s time to appear before police.
