The BJP has been demanding legal action against three Muslim girls and has said that it is an organised crime against Hindu girls.The BJP has also accused the Congress government of appeasement politics by trying to hush-up the case.
BJP has also alleged that Karnataka police is harassing the woman activist Rashmi Samanth for raising voice regarding the issue.However, the para-medical college has maintained that the victim is not willing to lodge the complaint against the Muslim girls.
The police have maintained that they could not take up the case as there is lack of evidence.
However, the Karnataka Police has taken a suo-moto cognisance regarding the case and initiated the probe.
Khushbu Sundar, famous actress and politician had arrived in Udupi as a member of National Commission for Women to look into the matter.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said that an FIR has been registered by the police.
