Rape case against DVS' son, more drama unfolds


Bangalore, Aug 28 (PTI) : In a major embarrassment to Railway Minister D V Sadananda Gowda, a Kannada starlet today insisted she was his son's wife and their family being aware of it must accept her, a day after she filed a complaint of rape and cheating against the son.

Gowda cried foul asserting that his son had been "falsely implicated" but said the law should take its own course on the complaint which was filed here on a day when his son's engagement ceremony with another woman took place at Kushalnagar in Kodagu district.




As the small time model-turned-actress' complaint against Karthik Gowda became a full blown scandal and kicked up a storm in Karnataka with her appearance on TV channels giving more details of her side of the story, the minister said, "...it's a falsely implicated complaint..." The Congress government in the state also said law would take its own course.

Bangalore Police Commissioner M N Reddi told PTI that the police would act as per law. "Yes we will summon him and if found guilty, will arrest him," he said.

A case was booked last night against Karthik under Sections 376 (punishment for rape) and 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code on the basis of the complaint filed by the woman.

The woman claimed that Karthik and she had got married at Gowda's residence in Mangalore in June in the presence of only the driver of Gowda's son. "I have married him.

Please accept me as your daughter-in-law," she told Gowda's family, maintaining that they were aware of the marriage but were not willing to accept her.

"My marriage has happened. I can't take anybody else as my husband," the woman said while rejecting suggestions that she was trying to blackmail the Gowda family.

She admitted that she had joined the Congress two-and-a- half or three years ago, but said her political affiliation had nothing to do with her complaint. She said she respects Gowda as a politician.

The issue also took a political turn with a group of Congress activists staging a protest here.

As more drama unfolded, Gowda said in Kochi,"...it's a falsely implicated complaint ...". He also said "I don't want to say anything, law will take its own course, even if it is my son or somebody law will take its own course. I will not interfere in the matter, I will do my duty," he said.

The issue also reached the Karnataka Women's Commission, whose chairperson Manjula Manasa said the woman's sister had approached it. "I will talk to the woman and her family. An FIR has been registered. We will write to police department."

Refusing to be drawn into the issue, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said, "law will take its own course." Home Minister K J George said Government would in no way interfere in the case, adding, "The investigating officer will be given a free hand."

On allegations that Congress is behind the incident, he said, "No one is behind it. A complaint has been registered and based on it investigation officer will investigate. We will not interfere in any way. I don't know who is behind it."

The woman, who also addressed a press conference here, said she respects Prime Minister Narendra Modi and would seek justice from him.

Asked if she had been approached by Gowda's family, she said "nobody has contacted me" directly. She also claimed she had told Gowda's wife to accept her and she would be a "good daughter-in-law".

Karthik was engaged to another woman after the Gowda family came to know about her relationship with him, she said.

On allegations that her photo with Karthik may be morphed, she said, "These are not morphed photos, because they were not taken by me. These were actually taken by his friends....which he sent me..

    So the Moral Police,and ABVP is silent and do not protest just because she has affiliations to congress. And congress,NSUI,youth congress if go on protest then they will be blamed as giving a political color for the incident,let us use the mass media and protest it,and this is what Subramanya swamy was preaching all over India.

    Ezekiel 18:20
    The person who sins will die. A son will not be punished for his father's sins, and a father will not be punished for his son's sins. The righteousness of the righteous person will be his own, and the wickedness of the wicked person will be his own.

    let me quote verses today, which I normally read on Daiji!

    PS: these r not my views.. In my view, DVS son is guilty and DVS shld step down, cos its matter of safety of a girl, no matter how bad she is! (the same girl is seen with roshna baig, siddrammayya, and many bigwigs.. just saw in FB)

    Some of the paid media is already making some nonsense stories about the girl and her character and some of the panel discussion members giving clean chit to Karthick gowda is highly condemnable. who the hell are they can decide just like that whether he married,raped, and loved etc etc.. there shud be Govt control over such media channels.

    If the case is true then it is highly DEPLORABLE ON THE PART OF ACCUSED.
    If the case false then too it is highly deplorable on the part of accuser.
    LET US NOT PLAY POLITICS IN THIS TYPE OF MATTERS.
    We may have preference in Political parties, but let us be truthful in accepting whoever is right.

    This is ridiculous. This actress accuses the man of rape and harassment and then wants to be married to him. What kind of a marriage will that be? She seems to be disillusioned . Lady ! women like you are a shame to women everywhere. whatever happened happened. He is clearly not interested in you and you are clearly not getting the message. Pick yourself up and move on. After all this public drama do you think you are going to live happily ever after?. Get a grip on yourself and have some self respect.

    No girl should move on after being ditched by any boy. All girls should be courageous like this girl. Maybe she is the right person to teach playboys like Karthik a lesson. She is the great person, in spite of knowing his background she has agreed to marry him.

This is because Modi sold impossible dreams to electorate and everyone is expecting perfection under him.A lesson for the BJP in the coming elections.Rajnath Singh,DVS and Yale are on their way out from Ministry.

    Looks like Karthiks driver was Proterm Purohith as well witness to the marriage...

    Since burden of proof is on accuser...lets see how State( Of Karnataka) proves its case...

    One thing baffles me is about "Rape Charges" in India loosely interpreted by Police...somebody should educate these stupid Police what real rape is...

    Nowhere in the world they have rape laws like this....I don't know to laugh or cry about this...

    Yes-
    If he has married her, then its not rape.
    If he has trapped her into drama of marrying to get her laid then its "Cheating as well as Rape"
    The Moral is- Girls beware of Cheaters who have money as well as political Power.
    Unless you get your marriage solemnized in front of witnesses with rituals or Registrar DON'T GIVE IN.
