Continuing their probe into how the explicit videos allegedly of Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna were leaked and circulated, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the sex abuse cases, raided 18 premises in Hassan on Tuesday. All the premises raided on Tuesday are said to belong to those considered close to former Hassan BJP MLA Preetham Gowda.
Sleuths from the SIT raided Quality Bar, which belongs to Sharath and Krishna Hotel, owned by family members of Kiran. The searches were conducted at a residence on Vallabhabai Road, belonging to Punith. Sharath, Kiran and Punith have identified themselves with Mr. Preetham Gowda for a long time. Apart from these several other premises were searched.
It can be recalled that the SIT arrested Likhith Gowda and Chetan, also in connection with the same case. The duo also alleged associates of Preetham Gowda, had allegedly been trying to destroy evidence in the case. SIT had recovered two pen drives and a Central Processing Unit (CPU) of a desktop computer from them.
