Karnataka BJP president BY Vijayendra on Saturday called for the investigation into the alleged obscene video case to be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

“Many prominent names are being heard in connection with this case. Therefore I want to tell the state government that the victims should get justice and for that to happen it is not possible for the SIT but rather the case should be handed over to the CBI. This is what I’m requesting from the state government,” ANI quoted BY Vijayendra.

Earlier today, HD Deve Gowda, former Prime Minister, and Janata Dal (Secular) chief, called for “pursue all available” legal avenues against his grandson and Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna in relation to the case.

However, the former PM claimed that the case against his son and Holenarasipura MLA HD Revanna was fabricated. HD Revanna was arrested on May 4 in connection with an alleged abduction case and was later granted bail on May 14.

“HD Kumaraswamy has already spoken on behalf of our family and party regarding the allegations against Prajwal Revanna and HD Revanna. The government must pursue all possible legal avenues against Prajwal Revanna. However, it is evident that the cases against HD Revanna were orchestrated to target him,” Deve Gowda told reporters on Saturday.

Without mentioning specific names, Deve Gowda echoed Kumaraswamy’s condemnation of the state government and Congress leader DK Shivakumar, suggesting a wider implication in the scandal.

“Many individuals are implicated in this case. It is essential that all those involved are held accountable, and justice is delivered to all the women who have been victimized,” he said.

On May 6, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had appealed to the central government to assist the Karnataka SIT team in its investigation by facilitating the return of Prajwal Revanna to India from overseas.

“The Special Investigation Team constituted to probe the allegations of sexual assault against MP Prajwal Revanna will conduct an independent and impartial investigation in which the state government will not interfere even a single inch. The success of the SIT investigation is now entirely dependent on the cooperation of the Central Government. The central government should cooperate in bringing the accused Prajwal Revanna, who is said to be abroad, to India,” CM Siddaramaiah said.

HD Revanna and his son, Prajwal Revanna, are under investigation by an SIT established by the Karnataka government regarding accusations of sexual harassment and criminal intimidation. These allegations stemmed from a complaint filed by a woman who was employed in their household.
