Karnataka Sex Scandal: BJP leader Who Flagged Prajwal Revanna Tapes, Detained In Sex Harassment Case
New Delhi: The Karnataka Police on Friday detained BJP leader Devaraje Gowda near the state’s Chitradurga district in connection with molestation, sexual harassment and an SC/ST case filed against him.
Although the police had registered the case against Gowda at a local police station in Hassan on April 1, it came to light only recently when he flagged Prajwal Revanna’s alleged sexual abuse. He will now be brought to Hassan for questioning, India Today reported quoting sources.
Notably, Devaraje was the one who reportedly alerted the BJP leadership about Revanna’s alleged sexual abuse of several women, and cautioned the party not to give a Lok Sabha ticket to the JD(S) MP from Hassan.
A woman had filed the complaint against Gowda, in which she alleged that he molested her for nearly ten months on the pretext of helping her to sell her property. In addition, the woman’s husband also filed a complaint against Gowda alleging that he barged into their house, threatened, and abused them.
According to the FIR details, Gowda was harassing the woman for the past 10 months. He also took the woman to a secluded place and allegedly molested her, and threatened to kill her and her husband, the woman stated in the police complaint, the report added.
