Chief minister DV Sadananda Gowda, who was out of Bangalore to participate in a programme in Chikmagalur district when the incident occurred, struggled to reply to a barrage of questions from the media.

One of the ministers, Lakshman Savadi held a press conference yesterday to deny the accusations. Mr Savadi said the cellphone he used to view the content was not his. He also said the clip he watched “was of four people molesting a foreigner.” He added, “I am not a criminal.”

Mr Savadi’s house was stoned last evening by protesters who were then taken away by the police.

Discussions between BJP top leadership and state party leaders are currently underway.
