Finding fault with the Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted to probe the allegations of sexual harassment against Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna for overlooking the culpability of the persons behind the release of the explicit videos, the JD(S) core committee chief G.T. Deve Gowda has demanded a judicial probe into the entire scandal by a sitting High Court judge.
Addressing a press conference along with former Minister S.R. Mahesh and former MLAs Ashwin Kumar and K. Mahadev in Mysuru on Tuesday, Mr. Gowda sought to know the reasons behind the failure of the SIT to interrogate Prajwal Revanna’s former driver Karthik, who had publicly claimed to have released the explicit videos allegedly involving the Hassan MP.
He regretted that the SIT was not even acknowledging that the person, who made the videos public, was also guilty of the crime of tarnishing the reputation of the women.
