Sharing obscene videos in Prajwal Revanna scandal a 'big sin': High Court
Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court, during a hearing on the Prajwal Revanna sex scandal case, remarked that sharing obscene videos linked to the scandal is a serious offense. The court expressed concern, stating that the act of sharing a pen drive containing explicit videos has insulted the victims.
The single-judge bench, led by Justice M Nagaprasanna, was hearing a petition filed by former BJP MLA Pritam Gowda, who sought to quash the complaint lodged against him for allegedly distributing the pen drive at the Bengaluru Cyber Crime station.
Senior advocate C.V. Nagesh, representing Gowda via video conference, stated that his client was ready to cooperate with the Special Investigation Team (SIT) and had no objections to the continuation of the investigation.
The court questioned whether Gowda had cooperated with the inquiry, to which Nagesh responded that no notice had been issued by the SIT. The bench criticised both the handling of the case and the lack of action by the state government, stating that the case had been exaggerated and mishandled.
The government's special prosecutor, Prof. Ravivarma Kumar, informed the court that a previous interim order related to the case had been dismissed. After hearing the arguments, the court adjourned the matter for further consideration.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
