H D Kumaraswamy accused the Congress government of targeting him. "The SIT is filled with those from the state government. And they are being ordered by the government to ensure that I am behind bars for at least an hour. I am being targetted since I have a stronger base ahead of the 2018 elections," Kumaraswamy said. Armed with ana anticipatory bail that stops his arrest for a week, Kumaraswamy appeared before the SIT. The former Chief minister was questioned for about two hours.
IAS officer Gangaram Baderiya, who was the then commissioner of Mines department, had made official notings accusing Kumaraswamy and his office of pressurising him to clear files that favoured Janthakal mining company illegally.
