Close on the heels of the Madhya Pradesh honey trap episode, a similar case has surfaced in Bengaluru in which five people have been arrested.
"We have arrested five people in connection with the case. They include two women," Additional Commissioner of Police Sandeep Patil told reporters here on Monday.
Without elaborating, he said an investigation is in progress.
Karnataka Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai has said that police were probing the matter.
"Our officers are probing the matter as per law. There is no question of any interference," Bommai said.
According to police sources, these women used to approach some politicians with grievances and used to seek privacy to explain their "problems."
