Why women police team?
There were only women police in the jeep. SIT officials told PTI that the decision to send all women officers to arrest Prajwal was deliberate. Revanna misused her position and authority as an MP against women. Therefore, it would have been appropriate for women to take legal action against them. The message that women officers are not afraid of anyone was also to be conveyed to the victimized women through this medium. That is why the senior officers formed a team of women to arrest Revanna.
What is the matter?
Prajwal Revanna is accused of sexually exploiting thousands of women using position and money. Also, these women have been portrayed offensively. The SIT has sent the sex tapes in this case to the forensic lab for investigation. Also, the process is on to identify and seize the equipment used to shoot the offensive video.
