Railway Minister D V Sadananda Gowda, against whose son Karnataka Police registered a case of rape, today said his son has been 'falsely implicated' in the matter.

"Law will take its own course. I will not interfere in the matter", he said when asked about the complaint filed against his son Karthik by a small-time Kannada model and actress yesterday.

"It is a personal matter. It is a falsely implicated complaint. As a Minister I am here", Gowda told reporters.
