Agency (Karnataka): In a recent twist in the ongoing sexual abuse scandal involving suspended JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna, his former driver, Karthik, has refuted claims of distributing explicit videos to Congress leaders in Karnataka. Instead, Karthik asserts that he exclusively shared the videos with BJP leader G. Devaraje Gowda, who had previously contested against Revanna’s father, H.D. Revanna, in the Holenarasipur assembly elections.
Karthik’s clarification came through a video statement where he explained his decision to approach Gowda, hoping to seek justice for the women allegedly victimized by Prajwal Revanna. This statement directly contradicts Gowda’s earlier claims that the videos had been first leaked to Congress leaders.
Gowda had suggested on Monday that Karthik disclosed having given the pen drive containing the videos to Karnataka’s state Congress chief D.K. Shivakumar among other leaders. In response, Karthik vehemently denied these allegations, questioning the logic of approaching Congress leaders who are known to be close to the Revanna family.
Further complicating matters, Karthik expressed his willingness to cooperate with the special investigation team by providing all relevant documents and testimonies to aid in the resolution of this case.
