Prajwal Revanna sex scandal: Woman claims coercion to file false case
Hassan: In a startling revelation amidst the ongoing Karnataka sex scandal involving JDS MP Prajwal Revanna, the National Commission for Women (NCW) has disclosed that one of the female complainants asserts being coerced by individuals purporting to be police officers into lodging a false complaint, under threat of harassment.
Former Chief Minister and JDS state President H.D. Kumaraswamy has levelled serious accusations against the Special Investigation Team (SIT) assigned to the case, alleging that the team is intimidating victims with false charges of prostitution if they don't provide statements favourable to the Congress government.
Prajwal Revanna, the sitting MP from Karnataka's Hassan and grandson of former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, remains elusive amidst the unfolding scandal. His father, JD-S MLA H.D. Revanna, has been arrested in connection with the abduction of a scandal victim.
Kumaraswamy has emphasised adherence to the law, affirming that those found guilty must face consequences. He also scrutinised the whereabouts of a kidnapped victim and criticised the distribution of private videos.
Responding to the allegations, Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara defended the SIT's efficiency, stating that the state government takes the matter seriously and urged those with complaints against the SIT to formally lodge them.
