News Minute, the chairperson of the State Women's Commission, Nagalakshmi Choudhary, had written to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and the state police chief regarding the allegations against Prajwal. The Karnataka Mahila Dourjanya Virodhi Vedike had reportedly filed a complaint with the Women’s Commission. The News Minute report cited the organisation as claiming that visuals of the politician sexually abusing women and coercing them into having sex were being circulated across Hassan district through pen drives and were also circulating on social media.

"The videos allegedly show Prajwal Revanna with numerous women," the report added. Taking note of the complaint, the Karnataka government decided to form a Special Investigation Team to probe an alleged sex scandal involving Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna. "The government has decided to form a special investigation team in connection with Prajwal Revanna's obscene video case," Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said in a post on 'X' on late Saturday night.

"In this background, the Chairperson of the Women's Commission (Dr Nagalakshmi Chowdhary) had written a letter to the government to conduct an SIT investigation. This decision has been taken in response to their request," Siddaramaiah said.
