Karnataka Sex Scandal: Woman Claims Was Forced To File False Case

New Delhi: The National Commission for Women (NCW) said on Thursday that one of the woman complainants in the Karnataka sex scandal case involving JDS MP Prajwal Revanna, has claimed that a group of people claiming to be cops forced her to lodge a false complaint after threatening her with harassment.

Taking a cue from the NCW’s allegation, former Chief Minister and JDS state President H.D. Kumaraswamy on Thursday night accused the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the case of threatening the victims with prostitution to extract false statements. The SIT officers are threatening the victims that if they don’t make statements in favour of the Congress government, they will be charged with prostitution, the JDS leader claimed, according to IANS.

“The investigating officers are going to the doorsteps of the victims and threatening them. Tell us, isn’t it a fact that the SIT officers are threatening the victims with false prostitution cases against them? Is this how the probe is being conducted,” Kumaraswamy questioned Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda, who earlier described the sex video scandal as the biggest sex scandal in the world.
