 "Son falsely implicated in rape case: Gowda")
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.
Bangalore Police commissioner M N Reddi had stated that "the woman had filed the complaint in RT Nagar Police Station against Karthik Gowda, Sadananda Gowda's son, for allegedly raping and cheating her".
A case has been lodged against Karthik under IPC sections 376 (punishment for rape) and 420 (cheating), Reddi had said.
