New Delhi:
The Karnataka government has urged the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to seek help from other countries in tracking down JDS leader Prajwal Revanna, who is accused of raping several women.
Former Prime Minister Deve Gowda's grandson Revanna left the country after videos of him allegedly harassing women surfaced, sparking a huge row in the middle of the general elections.
Earlier today, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi wrote a letter to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, urging him to provide all possible help to the victims in the case.
“I kindly request you to extend all possible support to the victims,” Gandhi said in his letter.
The scandal involves explicit videos allegedly recorded by the MP and widely circulated in the Hassan constituency.
This was followed by a woman filing a police case against Prajwal Revanna, accusing him of sexual assault. She claimed she was sexually assaulted multiple times between 2019 and 2022.
The complainant also alleged that Prajwal Revanna misbehaved with her daughter during a video call and had 'vulgar conversations' with her.
