A viral video on social media has sparked a major controversy in Karnataka, showing Director General of Police (Civil Rights Enforcement) K Ramachandra Rao in a compromising position with a woman. The DGP has denied the allegations, calling the video 'fabricated and false'. Rao, who is also the stepfather of Harshavardhini Ranya, a suspect in a high-profile gold smuggling case, claimed to have no knowledge of the video's origin. However, the Chief Minister of Karnataka, Siddaramaiah, has vowed to investigate the matter and take disciplinary action against Rao if wrongdoing is established. 'The law is the same for everyone, regardless of their position,' the Chief Minister stated. 'We will initiate disciplinary action against him if the allegations are true.' Other senior officials have also weighed in, with Women and Child Development Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar promising 'merciless action' if wrongdoing is confirmed. The BJP has also called for Rao's suspension, with MLA S Suresh Kumar labeling the alleged behavior 'an inexcusable crime.' The investigation into Rao's actions is ongoing, with the government awaiting the outcome before taking further action. The video's authenticity and the DGP's involvement remain unclear, but one thing is certain: the controversy has sparked a major crisis of confidence in the police department.
