A social activist whose complaint of sexual harassment against a Karnataka Minister led to his resignation on Friday appeared before the police here, a day after seeking a week's time citing security concerns.
Dinesh Kallahalli appeared before the police and later said he handed over whatever 'evidence' he possessed.
Kallahalli had earlier this week lodged a police complaint alleging that then Water Resources Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi sexually harassed a woman 'job aspirant', following which the BJP leader resigned from the cabinet.
Meanwhile, JDS leader and former chief minister H D Kumarawamy said it was a "blackmail" deal and Rs five crore had changed hands, but declined to elaborate further and said it was for the government to get to the bottom of the case and bring out the truth.
