Karnataka forms SIT to probe ‘obscene videos’ case allegedly involving JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday said that a special investigation team will probe the case of “obscene videos” allegedly involving Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna.

Revanna, the grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, is also the Janata Dal (Secular)’s Lok Sabha candidate from the constituency in Karnataka. The Janata Dal (Secular) is part of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance.

The incident came to light after pen drives carrying thousands of videos of alleged sexual assault against multiple women, allegedly recorded by Revanna himself, were circulated widely in Hassan ahead of the elections in the constituency on Friday, The Hindu reported.

Following this, Nagalakshmi Chowdhury, the chairperson of the Karnataka State Commission for Women had written to the state government and Karnataka Police chief Alok Mohan seeking an investigation into the matter by the special investigation team, The Hindu reported.

Chowdhury had alleged that Karnataka Rajya Mahila Daurjanya Virodhi Okkuta, a women’s rights group, had lodged a complaint to the commission mentioning that a pen drive with several videos of women being sexually assaulted had been shared. The letter claimed that the videos also included incidents of rape by Revanna.
