Bengaluru, May 9: Taking the JD(S) struggle against the leak of the circulation of sex videos and pen drives involving Hassan JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna to the Raj Bhavan, JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy has urged Governor Thaawar Chand Gehlot for a CBI probe as the SIT investigation ordered by the Congress government was not fair and impartial.
Leading a delegation of party leaders and legislators to meet the Governor on Thursday, Kumaraswamy has in a party memorandum alleged that Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar was the “master mind” behind the circulation of the sex video and pen drives and demanded his dismissal.
The JD(S), in its memorandum, said Shivakumar was behind the conspiracy in circulating the videos and pen drives in Hassan district and must be dismissed from the cabinet forthwith.
Explaining the salient points in the memorandum submitted by JD(S), Kumaraswamy apprised the Governor that the SIT formed by the Siddaramaiah government was doing the bidding of the Congress government and alleged that the SIT was not functioning in a fair and impartial manner.
However, the JD(S) memorandum has not said anything about the alleged incidents of rapes against women by the Hassan JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna and claimed that Prajwal Revanna’s former car driver Karthik had allegedly stolen the videos and recordings from Prajwal Revanna’s mobile and copied them in videos and pen drives and circulated them.
“Karthik and Shivakumar had hatched a conspiracy to circulate the sex videos and pen drives, which had harmed the women victims as their identities have been revealed,” Kumaraswamy claimed.
The JD(S) leader accused the SIT of deliberately not arresting Karthik or another person Naveen Gowda involved in circulating the sex videos and pen drives containing recordings of the rapes and abuses of women by Prajwal Revanna, despite the registeration of an FIR in Hassan.
Kumaraswamy has alleged that over 25,000 pen drives have been circulated with the “direct involvement” of Deputy Chief Minister Shivakumar and also referred to the reported telephone conversation between BJP leader and advocate Devarajegowda and Shivakumar.
JD(S) leaders G T Deve Gowda, Bandeppa Kashempur, H K Kumaraswamy, C S Puttaraju, Sa Ra Mahesh, Venkatarao Nadagouda, Alkod Hanumanthappa, Anand Asnotikar, Sharada Purya Naryak, Karamma Nayak, Rajugowda Patil, Nemiraj Nayak, T A Sharavana, Bojegowda, Manjegowda and others were part of the delegation.
