Audio clip of BJP Yuva Morcha leader Suhas Shetty harassing student surfaces; Complaints filed
Karkala: A controversial audio clip allegedly featuring BJP Yuva Morcha leader and teacher Suhas Shetty from Mutlupadi has gone viral on social media, where he is heard sexually harassing a student from his own college.
Following this, the Women’s Congress and the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) have filed separate complaints with the Deputy Superintendent of Police, demanding strict action.
In the circulating audio, Suhas Shetty is allegedly heard coercing an underage student to accompany him, reportedly using forceful and inappropriate language. Sources claim that this is not the first time Shetty has been accused of such misconduct. He was previously removed from a teaching post at another college after facing similar allegations of sexual harassment against a student.
Activists say that many students fear filing formal complaints due to possible intimidation, which emboldens repeat offenders like Shetty. In their complaint, the organizations urged police to immediately arrest him and seize his mobile phone, suggesting that it may contain further evidence of harassment against other students. They also requested the police to take suo motu cognizance of the incident and initiate legal proceedings without waiting for individual complaints from victims.
The delegation that submitted the complaint included Women’s Congress leaders Banu Bhaskar Poojary, Reena Juliet, municipal councillor Pratima Rane, Prabha Kishore, Rehmat, Sunitha Shetty, Asha Bailur, Shobha Prasad, Shobha Rane, Rajeshwari Sanuru, and Charitra. NSUI leaders present included president Gurudeep Nitte, Udit Shettigar, and office bearers Sanskrit N.R., Evans, Nithish, and Sunil Bhandari.
