A day after voting passed off within the constituency, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has ordered the formation of a particular investigation crew to probe a intercourse scandal allegedly involving Hassan MP and Janata Dal (Secular) candidate from the seat, Prajwal Revanna. Mr Revanna, grandson of JDS chief and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, has left for Germany.

After movies depicting sexual acts started circulating in Hassan, a few of which allegedly concerned ladies being pressured or filmed with out their consent, the Karnataka State Fee for Ladies had, on Thursday, requested the chief minister to arrange a particular investigation crew. 

Saying the choice on Saturday, Siddaramaiah wrote in Kannada on X, “The federal government has determined to type a particular investigation crew in reference to the Prajwal Revanna obscene video case. Obscene video clips are circulating in Hassan district, the place it seems that ladies have been sexually assaulted.

“On this backdrop, the Chairperson of the Ladies’s Fee had written a letter to the federal government to conduct an SIT investigation. This resolution has been taken in response to their request,” he wrote.

Mr Revanna left for Germany on Saturday morning.

The JDS is in an alliance with the BJP and, earlier within the day, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar demanded solutions from the ruling occasion on the Centre as properly. 

“The allegations of sexual assault are usually not simply on some random Hassan chief. (Karnataka BJP Chief) BY Vijayendra and others should reply. I learn reviews of them saying that the Ladies’s Fee is attempting to tarnish their picture. The Fee has written a letter to the chief minister and the house Minister,” Mr Shivakumar was quoted as saying by information company ANI. 

On JDS chief and former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy’s not directly accusing him of involvement within the case, Mr Shivakumar stated, “Let him carry up my title. I’ll expose him. Is he justifying sexual assault in opposition to ladies by speaking like this?”
