The National Commission for Women said on Thursday that no victim has come forward to register a complaint against Karnataka MP Prajwal Revanna, who has been accused of sexual exploitation of women. The Commission said the lone woman complainant, who reached out to it, alleged that she was forced to register a fake complaint against the JD(S) leader.
The police booked Mr. Prajwal and his father JD(S) MLA and former Minister H.D. Revanna for sexual harassment and criminal intimidation based on a complaint from a woman who worked in their household. Mr. Prajwal is the BJP-JD(S) alliance candidate for the Hassan Lok Sabha seat, which went to polls on April 26.
The NCW had taken suo motu cognisance of reports circulating in the media in the case and had asked the Director General of Police of Karnataka to take immediate action within three days.
