By the time Venkatesh returned, Halappa was reportedly seen consoling his wife. As Venkatesh pulled out his mobile and started clicking, the minister pulled his pants up and ran away. The images show a semi-nude Halappa with Venkatesh’s wife in the background. In another picture, the woman is seen crying, holding her sari. In a third picture, the minister is attempting to block the camera. The images, however, do not convey if it was forced or consensual sex.
Following this, the minister reportedly threatened Venkatesh not to talk about it. But the family has reportedly preserved the minister’s dhoti and the woman’s nightie; these may be used as evidence in the case.
