HD Kumaraswamy, the leader of the JD(S), has said that 25,000 pen drives with videos of women being sexually abused by his nephew, Lok Sabha candidate Prajwal Revanna, were given out before the polls. He also said that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar, his deputy, were part of a conspiracy. The previous boss clergyman additionally tried to dishonor SIT shaped by the Congress government on April 28 to test the charges against Prajwal of physically mishandling a few ladies after recordings supposedly including him began getting out and about via web-based entertainment. It isn't SIT, rather "Siddaramaiah Examination Group" and "Shivakumar Examination Group", the JD(S) second-in-order, who is the child of party supremo and previous top state leader HD Deve Gowda, said. MLA HD Revanna and his child and Hassan MP Prajwal have been reserved for attacking their cook. For another situation, Revanna has been reserved and captured for seizing a lady who was purportedly physically attacked by Prajwal. An instance of assault has likewise been enrolled against Prajwal. Tending to a public interview here, Kumaraswamy said the pen drives were flowed by cops who were "took steps to make it happen". "It (pen drive conveying recordings) was delivered in the Bengaluru Country electorate (where the Congress up-and-comer in the Lok Sabha races is D Suresh, who is the sibling of Shivakumar). This was an April 21 turn of events. On April 22, Poornachandra, our surveying specialist, gave a protest to the Region Representative Magistrate, who is the returning official," the JD(S) pioneer said. “On April 21, at eight o'clock in the evening, Poornachandra received a message informing individuals to "follow a WhatsApp channel to see Prajwal Revanna's sleaze video." Kumaraswamy continued, "Countdown for the release of Prajwal's sleaze videos" was written on this WhatsApp channel. As per Kumaraswamy, one Naveen Gowda had sent the message about the "commencement". In his objection to the DC and SP of Hassan area, Poornachandra has named five people, including Naveen Gowda, Karthik Gowda (Revanna's driver), Chethan and Puttaraju moniker Clay, he said. It has been in excess of a fortnight since the objection made on April 21 yet no move has been made against these five individuals, Kumaraswamy said and requested that they ought to initially be captured for "selling the unobtrusiveness" of ladies in the recordings. Kumaraswamy asserted that 25,000 pen drives were circulated in the whole state, and refered to a report in a provincial day to day to help his case. "Why no action was taken is my question here. Assuming somebody posts something via web-based entertainment, promptly houses are looked and the individual is made to sit in the police headquarters. Why no move was initiated against these five individuals regardless of a grumbling?" He pressed. "Boss Priest Siddaramaiah had without hesitation said that all the three JD(S) up-and-comers in the Lok Sabha decisions will be crushed," Kumaraswamy said, adding, "It raises questions about the contribution of many individuals." On April 25, Karnataka State Commission for Ladies Executive Nagalakshmi Chowdhary kept in touch with Siddaramaiah requesting a SIT test into the tapes where Prajwal is purportedly seen physically manhandling a few ladies. That very night the CM gave his gesture and requested the development of SIT, Kumaraswamy said. "In that letter, Nagalakshmi Chowdhary didn't make reference to the name of Prajwal or Revanna however the main priest called it 'Prajwal Revanna's express recordings' in his post on X when he reported the arrangement of SIT. The JD(S) leader asserted, "This demonstrates how the conspiracy was started." He likewise claimed that the principal grumbling "outlining" his sibling HD Revanna and nephew Prajwal was composed on a PC in Bengaluru and was shipped off Holenarasipura, which is addressed in the Karnataka Regulative Get together by Revanna, on April 28. "It's anything but a Unique Examination Group yet there are two groups inside it - one is 'Siddaramaiah Examination Group' and another is 'Shivakumar Examination Group'," he charged. He said the 'convenor' of the "pen drive story", Karthik Gowda ought to be followed first and brought before individuals. Kumaraswamy added, "Going through the conspiracies, one can doubt the intention behind the investigation because you are limiting the scope of the probe only to defame people" rather than protecting the women victims. He underlined that he was doing whatever it takes not to safeguard anybody. I have stated that I will not defend any wrongdoers in this case. Rigid discipline ought to be given to the individual engaged with this wrongdoing according to the law of land."
