Union Railway Minister D V Sadananda Gowda's son Karthik who has been accused of rape and cheating by a Kannada actress, appeared at the RT Nagar police station for interrogation in Bangalore on Saturday.

A Kannada actress had claimed that she had married Karthik on June 5 after meeting him on May 8.

He had also said that it seemed suspicious that the woman had filed the complaint hours after his son Karthik's engagement.
