H.D. Kumaraswamy Accuses Hassan DC of Bribing District Minister for Post Retention

Karnataka politician H.D. Kumaraswamy has accused Deputy Commissioner K.S. Latha Kumari of retaining her post by bribing the district in‑charge minister in Hassan. The allegation was made in a public statement released earlier this week. The DC, who has served in Hassan for several years, immediately denied the claim, asserting that she has never engaged in any illegal activity. No formal investigation has yet been announced, and the Karnataka government has not issued a response to the allegation.
