TNM’s Shivani Kava and Anisha Sheth travel to Holenarasipura, a place that has become infamous due to the allegations of sex abuse by Prajwal Revanna, the grandson of JD(S) supremo HD Deve Gowda. We spoke to residents of Holenarasipura, political leaders, and activists in Hassan, who discussed the fear present in the region, the power held by the Deve Gowda family, and the reactions to Prajwal's actions.

[@sudhakarwani860]

Unfortunate truth about India is that this happens more often than reported and condemned. People in general lack courage and prefer to overlook than take up, fight, side with victims .Some go to the extent of blaming victims than perpetrators. What happened in Sundarkhali ? Fllms like Nishant had this episode as their subject. But have things changed? Can it change? One must answer for himself. The question is can you take on the power in your neighbourhood . Is everybody equal before law.?Imagine some of the victims in this case are working with police force. Though the truth is these perpetrators draw this brutal power from these very people and victims. Power often corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Survey the population of Revannas in this country and you will be shocked.
