Karnataka BJP chief BY Vijayendra claims the Siddaramaiah-led government is downplaying the severity of the Haveri gang rape case, which occurred on January 7. He alleges a lack of prompt action, urging a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe. In response, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah defends the ongoing police investigation, emphasizing commitment to arresting all accused. Haveri police have identified seven suspects, arresting five, while one is receiving medical treatment, and another remains at large. The incident, involving a Muslim woman and Hindu man, sparked controversy after a video surfaced. BJP leaders suggest the same group later assaulted and raped the woman.
