Amid a controversy over viral obscene videos linked to former PM HD Deve Gowda grandson Prajwal Revanna, the Karnataka government has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by Bijay Kumar Singh, Additional Director General of Police, Criminal Investigation Department, to probe into the alleged ‘sex scandal’.
Two women IPS officers Suman D. Pennekar, Assistant Inspector General of Police, Police Headquarters, and Seema Latkar, Superintendent of Police, Mysuru district, have been appointed as members of the SIT.
A complaint of sexual harassment and stalking has also been filed in Holenarasipur police station against Prajwal and his father HD Revanna. The complaint was filed by their cook, as per PTI.
Prajwal is said to have left the country for Germany, according to The Indian express.
Meanwhile, the JD(S) has welcomed the announcement of the SIT. “Whether it is me or HD Deve Gowda, we always respect women and whenever they come with complaints, we have tried to resolve their problems. The CM has already ordered an SIT investigation and the SIT investigation has started. The SIT team will bring him back from abroad. That’s not my concern,” former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy said.
“If he (Prajwal) has gone to another country, then the government will bring him back. I have nothing to do with it,” Kumaraswamy further said.
“Let all the facts come out through investigation. No matter who is at fault, whoever they are, there is no question of forgiving them for any reason. Therefore, will talk about this after the investigation report is completely out,” he added.
