The family of the woman in the purported sex video has repeatedly blamed Shivakumar for the sex scandal, accusing him of playing "dirty politics" by using their daughter.
In a new twist to the ongoing probe into the sex scandal allegedly involving former Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi, an FIR was registered against him on Friday on a complaint by the woman, said to be in the purported video.
A case was registered on March 2 against Jarkiholi for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman after a purported sex tape surfaced showing him in a compromising position with a woman.
In the 34-second video clip in Kannada, the woman stated that this message is for Karnataka Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai. The source and origin of the video is yet to be verified.
Jarkiholi had resigned from his post of Water resources minister on March 3 after protests by opposition parties and several sections of society over purported video clips showing him getting intimate with an unidentified woman was aired by Kannada news channels.
Jarkiholi comes from one of the most powerful political families in the state and is a sugar baron from Belagavi district, the state's sugar belt.
