Rahul Gandhi writes to Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah regarding Prajwal Revanna video scandal
New Delhi: In a recent development, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has penned a letter to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah concerning the scandal involving Prajwal Revanna, a prominent JD(S) leader. The scandal revolves around obscene videos allegedly involving Revanna, who holds the position of incumbent member of Parliament from Karnataka's Hassan constituency.
Gandhi's letter condemns Revanna's actions as instances of "horrific sexual violence," accusing him of sexually assaulting and filming numerous women over several years. He calls upon the Chief Minister to extend all possible support to the victims of these purported crimes.
“Many who looked upto him as a brother and son were brutualized in the most violent manner and robbed of their dignity. Rape of our mothers and sisters warrants strictest punishment,” the Wayanad MP wrote.
Furthermore, Gandhi implicates Revanna of enjoying immunity, purportedly backed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Mallikarjun Kharge will hold rallies in Davangere, Gulbaraga constituencies respectively. Davangere and Gulbaraga go for polls on May 7 and the Congress party hopes to do well in Karnataka riding on its range of welfare schemes and tapping into the traditional base in the state.

PWD, Google Maps officials booked in Bareilly bridge death case
Budaun (UP), Nov 25: Police here have booked officials of the Public Works Department and Google Maps in connection with the death of three men whose car rolled over an under-construction bridge while following directions on the navigation app, an officer on Monday said.
The car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge in Dataganj Police Station area early Sunday.
Nitin and Ajit, aged 30, both brothers from Farrukhabad district, and Amit, 40, from Mainpuri district, were on their way from Noida to Faridpur in Bareilly to attend a wedding.
According to police, the driver was led by Google Maps into taking the unsafe route.
The incident took place on the Bareilly-Budaun border.
Dataganj Police Station SHO Gaurav Bishnoi said an FIR on charges of laxity in duty and others was filed against four engineers of the PWD, along with some unknown people.
The regional officer of Google Map has also been brought under the scope of investigation. His name is yet to be included in the FIR.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson of Google in a statement said, "Our deepest sympathies go out to the families. We're working closely with the authorities and providing our support to investigate the issue."
On Sunday, Faridpur Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said, "Earlier this year, floods caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse onto the river, but this change had not been updated in the system."
He said the bridge had no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach.
