Won't Spare Pen Drive Distributors: SIT Chief

The survivor in the rape case stood firm like a rock and extended full cooperation to the Special Investigation Team (SIT), resulting in the conviction of former JDS MP Prajwal Revanna, said BK Singh, additional director general of police (ADGP), under whose supervision the SIT is probing the cases involving Prajwal.

"Those who circulated the pen drives in Hassan that contained explicit videos of Prajwal will be dealt with sternly," he added.

Addressing a press conference after the special court to try present and former MPs/MLAs sentenced Prajwal to life on Saturday evening, the officer said, "The victim belongs to a marginalized community, with a poor socio-economic background. In contrast, the accused is politically, economically and socially powerful. Yet, driven by her desire for justice, the victim stood firm with us for one year. It is because of her determination that we secured this conviction."
