Reacting to the new revelation, Sudhakar said, “SIT gave a phone call to me on Friday. I replied to them that I will come on Monday or Tuesday. I never had any contact with that woman. I was a former minister and also a businessman, so I receive tens of calls every day. The woman might also have called. I have not given any money to her. Ramesh Jarkiholi is a close friend of mine.”
