The Karnataka Police apprehended a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) student for allegedly filming intimate videos with various young women, predominantly daughters of local political figures, and circulating them on social media. The incident unfolded at the Madikeri Rural police station in Kodagu district, with the accused identified as Mohammad Savad, a BBA student from a prominent college in Bengaluru. Authorities revealed that the accused had engaged in relationships with multiple young women, recording personal moments on his phone, which were subsequently leaked and spread across social platforms, sparking public outcry.
Initial investigations suggest that the accused’s acquaintances might have been responsible for leaking the private videos. A complaint was filed by Prasanna Bhat, the president of the Kodagu Development Committee, prompting the police to launch an inquiry. Additionally, videos depicting a group of youths being assaulted have emerged, leading authorities to suspect potential involvement by Mohammad Savad’s associates in retaliating against those believed to have shared the videos. However, no formal complaints regarding the alleged attacks have been lodged thus far.
In light of the gravity of the situation, law enforcement has initiated a thorough investigation encompassing all facets of the case. Further details are anticipated to surface as the inquiry progresses. Notably, recent incidents in Karnataka, including the circulation of purported private videos involving Karnataka DGP Ramchandra Rao and a pharmacist accused of filming illicit videos of women without consent, have stirred significant controversies and legal actions.
