JDS core committee calls for judicial probe into Prajwal Revanna sex scandal case
Mysuru: The JDS Core Committee, led by Chairman GT Deve Gowda and former minister Sara Mahesh, has demanded a thorough judicial investigation into the Prajwal Revanna sex scandal case. Addressing the media in Mysuru, the committee members expressed concern over the handling of the case by the Special Investigation Team (SIT), accusing some officials of bias towards the Congress party.
Speaking on the need for transparency and accountability, GT Deve Gowda asserted that while action should be taken if Prajwal Revanna is found guilty, it's crucial to uncover the individuals responsible for distributing compromising material.
He further stressed on the alleged connections between the driver involved and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, calling for Shivakumar's resignation or dismissal from the cabinet.
The committee members also criticised the state government's handling of the case, questioning the decision-making process in registering kidnapping charges and the lack of transparency in the victim's rescue operation. They called for a comprehensive investigation into various aspects of the case, including the abduction, distribution of pen drives, and the role of political figures.
Former minister Sara Mahesh echoed these sentiments, stressing the importance of holding accountable those implicated in the pen drive scandal. She raised questions about the victim's whereabouts and the circumstances surrounding her rescue, urging for a thorough examination of the case by a judicial authority.
The JDS also announced a statewide sit-in on May 8 to demand a judicial inquiry into the entire case.
