Thousands of videos allegedly showing an Indian MP sexually abusing women have circulated in the southern state of Karnataka, sparking outrage.
Karnataka’s Chief Minister K Siddaramaiah said that a special investigation team (SIT) will look into the case, based on a request by the state’s women’s commission.
The allegations against Mr Revanna first came to light in June last year, but he obtained a court order preventing media from reporting what was described as “morphed videos”.
But five days before the 26 April voting in Hassan - from where Mr Revanna is the MP and seeking another term - thousands of pen drives were circulated in public places such as bus stands and parks.
On Sunday, a 47-year-old woman, who worked as a cook for the family and identified herself as a cousin of Mr Revanna’s mother, filed a police complaint alleging that she was sexually abused by the MP and his father.
A state minister wrote on X, formerly Twitter, asking Mr Modi to explain why the alliance had fielded Prajwal Revanna for the election “knowing that hundreds of women had been abused by the candidate”.
