Bengaluru, Sep 28: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing charges against arrested Karnataka BJP MLA N. Munirathna Naidu, including allegations of rape, honey-trapping, and other offences, on Saturday conducted raids at his residence and 15 other locations across the city.
Sources confirmed that the raids were taking place at his Vyalikaval residence and other properties owned by the BJP MLA. The operation is being conducted by the SIT under the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) led by ACP Kavitha.
The team is examining documents, electronic devices, and other materials related to the rape and honey-trapping case. The SIT is being supported by experts from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), with Superintendent of Police (SP) Sowmya Latha also participating in the search and inspection at Munirathna’s Vyalikaval residence.
According to sources, the raids were triggered by information provided by the victim, who alleged that Munirathna recorded footage of sexual assaults and used it to blackmail politicians and public servants, including IAS and IPS officers.
The victim reportedly revealed that she was used to entrap the woman who had lodged a rape case against a senior IFS officer. She was allegedly instructed to frame the rape victim in a drug peddling case.
The complainant told police that she was tasked with capturing compromising videos of the rape victim who had filed the case against the IFS officer. She claimed that, after several failed attempts to obtain the videos, the victim was drugged with sleeping pills, and obscene footage was recorded without her consent. Later, the IFS officer was bailed out from the charges.
Furthermore, the complainant has accused MLA Munirathna of raping her at his office within the state legislature, in his official vehicle, and at his godown. She has alleged that he recorded videos of these assaults.
Police sources also revealed that the victim in the MLA's case provided details of a plot involving sending HIV-infected women to Munirathna's targets in an attempt to ruin them politically and personally. She also disclosed the names of several politicians whom she had entrapped through honey-trapping.
The woman further claimed that Munirathna had threatened to have her son kidnapped and killed if she refused to comply with his demands. According to her, the MLA had a well-organised team dedicated to carrying out these honey-trapping operations, and she provided details about his close associates and relatives involved in the scheme.
Munirathna, who was in judicial custody following his arrest in the rape and honey-trap case, has now been taken into the custody of the SIT.
The MLA was transferred from Bengaluru Central Jail to the CID office on the night of September 24. The BJP legislator, however, has denied all the allegations, claiming they are false.
Karnataka Congress leader D.K. Suresh had alleged that Munirathna was trying to infect his adversaries with HIV and that the government should investigate the matter.

Stop non sense and be like a human don't try to spoil HINDU religion.
Hope you and your Head quarter manage to understand above message.
I am sure that this bjp leader Ranjit has completely gone mad and it will be better for bjp to kick him out from the party. His baseless + senseless statement will lead to riot. Hence,. he shuld be arrested under terrorist / goonda act immediately. According to scientiest Darwin, human being are coming from apes / monkeys. Based on this, ancistors of this hate monger were apes / monkeys. I would like to know when this hate monger will go to jungle to stay with his ancistors. We will give nice party to him. Why this hate monger is not caring about cows which are let lose in the roads and dying due to hunger. Why dont he take care of them. He is only after the cows which muslims are taking care. As cows are his Matas, he should visit to other countries also to take care of them. Why is not bothered about hundreds of cows being slaughtered for beef export by sangh exporters in Gujrat. Why he has double standard. I doubt he is one of the beef exporters and making crores and low being expressed for cow is a jumla like his Master. Has he dare enough to agitate in front of beef exporting houses in Gujrat. He will be kicked out if he does so. Shame on you guy. Be a human being first. Live and let live others. There is limit for everything . Dont cross the limit.
