In a disturbing development echoing the Prajwal Revanna scandal, authorities have uncovered over 2,500 sexually explicit videos allegedly recorded without consent on the mobile phone of a private sports coach in Karnataka. The videos reportedly feature multiple women, some of whom were trainees under his supervision.
The case came to light after one of the victims lodged a complaint with the cybercrime division, leading to the coach’s arrest and seizure of his phone. Preliminary forensic analysis revealed a trove of videos spanning several years, many of which appear to have been filmed covertly.
Allegations and Investigation
Police sources say the accused used hidden cameras and manipulated trust to record the women in compromising situations. Investigators are now working to identify the victims and verify the authenticity of the footage. The coach is currently in custody and faces charges under IPC sections related to sexual exploitation, voyeurism, and cybercrime.
“This is a grave breach of privacy and a criminal act. We are treating this case with utmost seriousness,” said a senior police official.
The case has sparked outrage across the state, with activists demanding stronger safeguards for women in sports and educational institutions.
Political Parallels
The incident draws comparisons to the ongoing investigation involving Prajwal Revanna, a Member of Parliament accused of sexually exploiting women and storing hundreds of explicit videos. While the two cases are not legally connected, the similarities have reignited public debate on systemic abuse of power and digital exploitation.
Victim Support and Legal Action
Authorities have urged potential victims to come forward and assured protection and anonymity. Legal experts say the case could lead to landmark rulings on digital consent and privacy violations.
