No action initiated despite lodging complaint: Congress' releases audio tape
A major twist in the sexual harassment case against BJP candidate Tejasvi Surya
Bengaluru: Congress spokesperson Brijesh Kalappa alleged that though a criminal case was filed against Bengaluru South Lok Sabha constituency's BJP candidate Tejasvi Surya, in connection with an alleged sexual harassment case, his name is not mentioned it in the affidavit.
Addressing a press conference at the city's press club, he said that a CD was released recently. In which Dr. Soma dutta accused Tejasvi Surya of sexually assaulting three women including her. She had also said that a complaint was filed at Koramangala police station in Bengaluru in this regard. But Tejasvi did not reveal this matter anywhere, he alleged.
"A complaint was also given to the BJP high command about tejasvi's sexual misconduct. However, no action was taken against him. The Mysuru MP Pratap Simha had also assured to take action against Tajasvi, but nothing was done yet. Pratap Simha must speak about this," Brijesh demanded.

Karnataka State Women’s Commission urges action on online abuse targeting actor Ramya
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka State Women’s Commission, in a letter sent on Monday, urged the Bengaluru Police Commissioner to take action against the surge of online abuse directed at women, including former MP and actor Ramya, following "derogatory posts" on social media, allegedly made by fans of Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa.
"There is a report about derogatory messages being posted on social media against former MP and film actress Ramya. This is affecting the status of women, and the State Women's Commission has taken this matter seriously," the letter said.
A copy was shared with the media.
The Commission asked Bengaluru Police Commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh to investigate the matter, take appropriate action against those responsible, and ensure that "the abusive content is removed from social media platforms."
Reports earlier indicated that Ramya (known as Divya Spandana) was planning to approach the police regarding the alleged harassment. She is said to be compiling the abusive messages to submit as part of her complaint.
On July 27, the actor shared screenshots of some of the posts on her Instagram page, claiming, "It is because of trolls with a misogynistic mindset that women and young girls are subjected to harassment, rape, and murder."
Ramya has consistently spoken out against the rising trend of online abuse targeting women, often calling out the violent and abusive nature of such trolling.
Thoogudeepa, a popular figure in the Kannada film industry, is currently out on bail in connection with the murder of 33-year-old Renukaswamy, a native of Chitradurga.
Renukaswamy, reportedly a fan of Thoogudeepa, was allegedly killed for posting derogatory remarks about Pavitra Gowda, an associate of the actor.
Thoogudeepa's fanbase, which refers to him as ‘D-Boss’, is known to "defend him aggressively on social media."
