Later, speaking to mediapersons on May 6, Mr. Balakrishna said the party had requested the SP to entrust some policemen to keep a tab on the developments.
“Some people are engaged in spreading rumours, targeting some individuals. The police should avoid any incident that demeans the dignity of women. Our request is in the interest of society and the people of the district,” he said.
The JD(S), an ally of the BJP in Karnataka, has been in the news following allegations of sexual harassment against the father-son duo of Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna and Holenarasipura MLA H.D. Revanna.
