Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has ordered a special investigation team (SIT) to probe a sex scandal allegedly involving Hassan MP and Janata Dal (Secular) candidate Prajwal Revanna. The move came after video clips depicting obscene acts circulated in Hassan, prompting the Karnataka State Commission for Women to demand an investigation.
Allegations and Women’s Commission’s Involvement
The video clips allegedly show Prajwal Revanna engaging in sexual acts with multiple women, including government employees. The Women’s Commission highlighted cases of women allegedly being forced or filmed without consent, leading to demands for a thorough investigation.
Shivakumar Seeks BJP’s Explanation
Reacting to the case, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar called on the NDA to clarify its stance on Prajwal Revanna’s involvement. He demanded answers from the state BJP chief regarding the allegations of sexual assault, emphasizing that the matter requires serious attention.
Karnataka Government Forms SIT
CM Siddaramaiah announced the formation of the SIT following a letter from the Women’s Commission, urging action on the scandal. The decision comes amidst reports of obscene video clips circulating in Hassan district and allegations of sexual violence against women.
Prajwal Revanna Flees Amid Probe
In a dramatic turn, Prajwal Revanna reportedly left the country for Frankfurt as the government initiated the SIT probe. This development underscores the gravity of the situation and raises questions about the impact on the ongoing investigation and the political landscape in Karnataka.
Calls for Accountability
With the scandal implicating a prominent political figure, demands for accountability have intensified. Both the JD(S) and the BJP face scrutiny as allegations of defamation and attempts to tarnish Revanna’s image emerge.
The unfolding scandal surrounding Prajwal Revanna has sent shockwaves through Karnataka’s political arena. As investigations progress and new developments emerge, the state braces for potential repercussions while seeking answers and justice for those affected by the scandal.
