Bengaluru: JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy has claimed that 25,000 pen drives with videos of women being sexually abused allegedly by his nephew, Lok Sabha election candidate Prajwal Revanna, were distributed before polls, and accused Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy D K Shivakumar of a conspiracy.
The former chief minister also sought to discredit the Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed by the Congress government on April 28 to probe the charges against Prajwal of sexually abusing several women after videos allegedly involving him started making the rounds on social media.
"It is not a Special Investigation Team but 'Siddaramaiah Investigation Team' and 'Shivakumar Investigation Team'," the JD(S) second-in-command, who is the son of party supremo and former prime minister H D Deve Gowda, said.
MLA H D Revanna and his son and Hassan MP Prajwal have been booked for allegedly molesting their cook. In another case, Revanna has been booked and arrested for allegedly kidnapping a woman who was allegedly sexually assaulted by Prajwal. A case of rape has also been registered against Prajwal.
Addressing a press conference here, Kumaraswamy said the pen drives were circulated by police officers who were "threatened to do it".
“It (pen drive carrying videos) was released in Bengaluru Rural constituency (where the Congress candidate in the Lok Sabha elections is D K Suresh, who is the brother of Shivakumar). This was an April 21 development. On April 22, Poornachandra, our polling agent, gave a complaint to the District Deputy Commissioner, who is the Returning Officer,” the JD(S) leader said.
“Poornachandra received a message at 8 pm on April 21 asking people to 'follow a WhatsApp channel to see Prajwal Revanna’s sleaze video'. There was a message on this WhatsApp channel, 'Countdown for the release of Prajwal’s sleaze videos'," Kumaraswamy further said.
According to Kumaraswamy, one Naveen Gowda had sent the message about the "countdown".
In his complaint to the Deputy Commissioner and the Superintendent of Police of Hassan district, Poornachandra has named five people including Naveen Gowda, Karthik Gowda (Revanna’s driver), Chethan and Puttaraju alias Putty, he said.
It has been more than a fortnight since the complaint made on April 21 but no action has been taken against these five people, Kumaraswamy said and demanded that they should first be arrested for "mortgaging the modesty" of women in the videos.
Kumaraswamy alleged that 25,000 pen drives were distributed in the entire state, and cited a report in a regional daily to support his claim.
“My question here is why no action was taken. If someone posts something on social media, immediately houses are searched and the person is made to sit in the police station. Why no action was taken against these five people despite a complaint?” he asked.
"Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had confidently said that all the three JD(S) candidates in the Lok Sabha elections will be defeated," Kumaraswamy said, adding, "It raises doubts about the involvement of many people."
On April 25, Karnataka State Commission for Women Chairperson Nagalakshmi Chowdhary wrote to Siddaramaiah demanding an SIT probe into the tapes where Prajwal is allegedly seen sexually abusing several women. The same night, the CM gave his nod and ordered the formation of a SIT, Kumaraswamy said.
“In that letter, Nagalakshmi Chowdhary did not mention the name of Prajwal or Revanna but the chief minister called it ‘Prajwal Revanna’s explicit videos’ in his post on X when he announced the formation of SIT. This shows how the conspiracy was hatched,” the JD(S) leader claimed.
He also alleged that the first complaint "framing" his brother H D Revanna and nephew Prajwal was typed on a computer in Bengaluru and was sent to Holenarasipura, which is represented in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly by Revanna, on April 28.
“It’s not a Special Investigation Team but there are two teams within it – one is ‘Siddaramaiah Investigation Team’ and another one is ‘Shivakumar Investigation Team’,” he charged.
He said the ‘convenor’ of the 'pen drive story', Karthik Gowda should be traced first and brought before the people.
“Going through the conspiracies, one can doubt the intention behind the investigation because more than protecting the women victims, you are limiting the scope of the probe only to defame people,” Kumaraswamy further alleged.
He underlined that he was not trying to protect anyone. “I have said that in this case I will not protect anyone doing wrong. Stringent punishment should be given to the person involved in this crime as per the law of land."

C.M. Ibrahim..unfit to be a Muslim
Hey guys!
Don't you have anything else to do? Commenting and issuing Fatwa on each and every silly things?!!! CMI is a politician who will yell anything that yield him political mileage. And for preaching, this is not a platform for it either. May be you were not aware that the famous Lulu's Yousuf Ali donated to Viswa Hindu Parishad's International Conference in London recently.
Navoodu Billah, even we cant say Nabi Sws as god, we can only say fi Naari jahanam
No wonder if cm calls pejavara as god he has different gods everywhere ,he bow AP ustad too while AP followers say Allah Akbar to AP ..which is big shirk?
I think there is third 'walking god' which mr.ibarhim forgot to mention in his speech mr, kantapuram musliyar. Mr, ibrahim is really a lucky person for getting 'holy trinity'.!!!!
\CM\" Go adress the function but do not SALE your faith in cheap rate."
Fee nari jahannum.....
Ibrahim Lost his mind
All those who commented here failed to realize the greatest \Hikmah\" hidden behind CM Ibrahim's statement. He is just following the model of our greatest prophet Hazrat Ibrahim (a.s), who had stated that moon is god and son is god. His intention was to convince the Mushrik that they are not gods.
Similarly when those two walking gods leave this world, our CM ibrahim will go to Udupi and say: \"See all are dead. the one who is alive and will be alive forever is the only true god\"...
hahaha.. am kidding."
Dear all,
I am Not supporter of any politician........
He said that GOD, Please do Understand he did not call him \ALLAH\", When COW can become GOD Mother, why can't be Mr. Seer be a God, after all their are 33 crores of GODS.
Why should we give give importance , as called him a GOD, Let them add another GOD in the list, as RECOMMENDED BY Mr. IBRAHIM"
C. M. Ebrahim now in ATTH BITTH
Nahoodu Billhah.
Is he a real Muslim or Name sake Muslim.I really Wonder,Even Hindus do not believe pejavar sree as GOD.Nor pejavara Sree Quoted himself as a GOD.In one of his interview i heared C.M Ibrahim introduced H.D Devegavda as MANEDEVAARU.I really dont understand Why he is giving GOD'S Status to the Human being.
I know Muslims do not entertain or believe in such policies...
I do remember this CM Ibrahim's 20 year old speech in Bengaluru. He was addressing a muslim gathering. Here are the excerpts:
\Ee CM Ibrahim 100% Musalmaan. Jafar Sharif haage 50% Musalmaan alla naanu. Ee kade Maseedigu hogtare aa kade devastaanakkoo hogatare namma 'kaafar' sharif\".... Naanu eega thaane hajj maadi bandiddene\"....
And now what the hell he is saying?"
confession of hypocrisy.
First of all he does not know the main message of Islam which is oneness of God. (even if he knows it, still does not know the seriousness of God).
Ulema the scholars say 1 third of Quran(almost 200pages OR 10Parts of Quran) is only about oneness of God.
This is the key of Islam. Unless a person knows it(Oneness of God), he can not go forward to learn Islam.
Islam is based on this oneness. So, Islam does not allow for associating anything with the God. Even the Gods special qualities can also be not seen in others.
Even a negligible minute portion can not be equated to that one and only God, who controls the entire universe.
Even we can not say our mother, father also to the level of God.
It is the duty of every Muslim not to make such mistakes of equating anything with the God. This is called as Shirk associating someone with the God.
May Allah forgive our mistakes, help us to learn the fact and share with others.
What about Devegowda ? he made him party president, union minister. May Allah guide him to right path.
Why only two gods? Include Kalladka Bhat and make it three gods! Perfect Trinity
He is already Durga Poojary, it is no surprise that he says whoever God. Thee are some more big so called leaders smilar to Mr. Ibrahim's category who prays and also becoming President of Uroos etc. Even one of our Vice Chancellor also in his grade.
All these people are giving wrong signal to others about our religious.
It is welcome to go and speak at Swamys's presence but not in this level.
Marle..
La haula wala quvvata illa billah....
This fellow went to Kerala and declared AP Ustad as greatest auliya allah
Now went to Udupi and declared pejawar seer as god..
Now tell me who is great- auliya or god?
If Pejawar seer is god, who is his messenger? CM Ibrahim himself?
When U depend on Gori rituals it will take you to this height.. Graves are not for asking prayers. it is to reminds us muslims to recognise the blessing of ALLAH and our fate to end up in the graves. When we make the Graves our protector. The end result will take YOU to such steps which doesnt recognise the TRUE creator even after praying and making zikr hundreds of times...
If U ask, Ask ALLAH alone and trust him. Never depend on something which prophet muhammd pbuh never taught us. ALLAH is our protector - No need any intermedite to reach our creator. AL -hamdullillah.
The photo is very suitable for this report. CM Ibrahim raising his finger and reciting Kalima shahadah... \Ash-hadu Pejawar swami bla bla bla...\""
Yes Yes... Pejawar seer is god for saabis like CM Ibrahim.. Not for Hindus, for whom he is just a great swamji.. We are upper religion. our relgion's seers are their religion's gods... ahahaha
To Fathima, Dubai. Your statement is wrong. How you agree two god. Do you have sense. If you think like that, you done shirk. So make thouba and pray almighty Allah for your wrong statement.
He is an opportunists!
Baqoul shayer (about politicians )
Unka kiya hai ?
Wo to apne baap bhi badaltey hai !
This is the sign of Jaahil!
Ok Ok. Karnataka has two gods.. agree.. Now tell me Kerala has how many gods??? Only one?
If he belives there if God other than Allah , He is no more Muslim.
If he Belive There is God other thean Allah , He is no more
There no GOD but ALLAH.. and QURAN challenges the creation to VERIFY what is said in the QURAN to prove false... If U dare please TRY.
ALLAH says in QURAN : Say \ If the mankind and the jinns were together to produce the like of this QURAN, they could NOT produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another\" - QUran 17:88
And if YOU are in doubt concerning that which WE have sent down (The QURAN) to our slave (Muhammad pbuh) then produce a surah(chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides ALLAH. if YOU are TRUTHFUL - Quran 2:23
Worship the CREATOR not his CREATION."
SSF's spokes person. lol
There is no GOD but ALLAH & Muhammd pbuh is last and final messenger of GOD who came after prophets like Jesus, moses, abraham, noah and Adam and several other messenger that ALLAH has sent to the people who worshiped the man made Gods and idols. Their only concern was people should worship the CREATOR who created us all. & not fall TRAP to the so called gods which is man made...
CM ibrahim is showing and strengthening u to the path of FALSEHOOD which he himself need to answer to the one who gave us Soul.
Dear HINDU brothers ... Look for QURAN , u will be cleared of who is GOD and Who are the agents of Devil which is also a creation of God.
