Bangalore: A new twist has come to light in the sex scandal case of Prajwal Revanna, sitting MP of Hassan and grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda. Former driver of the Revanna family, Karthik, on Tuesday denied that he had shared the pen drive of suspended Janata Dal (Secular) leader Prajwal Revanna’s alleged sex scandal video with the Congress. The former driver said that he had given these videos only to Karnataka BJP leader Devaraj Gowda.
What is the whole matter?
Today Karthik, an old driver of Prajwal came in front of the media. Karthik is the same person who had copied the obscene clips from Prajwal’s phone. Karthik worked as a driver for Prajwal for 17 years.
Last year, there was a dispute between the two in a land related matter and Karthik left the job. Karthik says that Prajwal and his family forcibly grabbed his land and tortured him and his wife when they asked questions.
Driver Karthik contacted Karnataka BJP leader Devaraj Gowda to file a case against Prajwal. Devaraje Gowda was the leader who launched the front against the Revanna family in Hassan and is a lawyer by profession. In 2023, Gowda has also contested the election on BJP ticket against HD Revanna.
As soon as Prajwal Revanna came to know about this, he obtained a stay from the court against airing any kind of obscene video or photo against him. According to Karthik, Devaraje Gowda asked to give a copy of the obscene clip in view of the court order, so that it could be given directly to the judge and the stay could be vacated.
Driver Karthik said that he did not give the copy of this obscene video to anyone except Devaraj Gowda. They have no idea how it reached someone else and then who spread it.
Karthik accused Devaraj Gowda of leaking it and said that he will give a statement before the SIT.
What did BJP leader Devaraj Gowda say on Karthik’s allegations?
BJP leader and lawyer by profession Devaraje Gowda responded to Karthik’s allegations and said that I fulfilled the duty of being a lawyer. The identity of the village women was more important for me. If I wanted to do politics, I would have sent a pen drive instead of writing a letter to the party leadership. Prajwal’s ticket would have been automatically deducted.
Devaraj Gowda said that the SIT investigation will also reveal how Karthik copied the clips from Prajwal’s personal phone. Why did he meet Congress leaders before meeting me?
Prajwal’s troubles increased
JDS has suspended Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna embroiled in sex scandal. Show cause notice has also been sent to him. This decision has been taken in the party’s core committee meeting in Hubli.
On the other hand, the SIT formed to investigate this matter has also started investigation today. The statement of the house helper who lodged a police complaint against HD Revanna and his son Prajwal Revanna has been recorded today. SIT has also sent the pen drive containing obscene clips to FSL for investigation.
Through these photographs, the team is also trying to reach out to other victims who have been sexually harassed. Congress is the attacker after this episode came to light. Protests are continuing everywhere in the state demanding Revanna’s arrest. Congress has protested in front of BJP state headquarters in Bengaluru today. Meanwhile, NSUI members are protesting inside colleges across the state.
