The National Commission for Women has of late taken cognizance of a scandalous sex scandal credited to sitting MP and JD-S candidate, Prajwal Revanna, contesting from Karnataka's Hassan constituency.
Prajwal Revanna, who is also the grandson of former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, is the man at the heart of the controversy.
Following up on the incident, the commission has sought a detailed report from the Karnataka Police within a strict time frame of three days.
NCW Chairperson, Rekha Sharma, wrote a letter to Karnataka DGP Alok Mohan laying down the ultimatum that fast and firm action is needed to arrest the accused who has allegedly escaped to a foreign country.
Sharma sounded deeply concerned while writing, "The commission strongly condemns this act and is deeply concerned about its happening. Such incidents not only endanger women but also foster a culture of disrespect and brutalizing them."
Simultaneously, the JD-S party has acted by suspending Prajwal Revanna and has also announced that if the ongoing SIT inquiry finds him responsible, he will be thrown out of the party with immediate effect.
