Now, Shashidhar Belagumba has moved the petition (No 3994/2011) on Wednesday, stating that Kumaraswamy, who is a Lok Sabha member, ought to be disqualified from the membership of Parliament as he has committed “a crime” by marrying again during the lifetime of his first wife, Anitha.

The JD(S) leader has also confirmed fathering a child with Radhika, according to the petition, which said that being a Hindu, Kumaraswamy is prohibited from bigamy. 

Admitting that the complaint ought to be filed only by an aggrieved person, Belagumba has pointed out that he was not seeking any prosecution against the JD (S) leader. “Every Indian citizen should be treated equally and the law of the land uniformly applied to everyone as enunciated in Article 14 of the Constitution,” the petitioner said.

Here are some photos published by Udayavani on April 23. Do these photos prove in the court that Kumaraswamy has committed bigamy?
