Karnataka Seer sex abuse case: Basavaraj Bommai declined any other comments regarding the allegations against the pontiff and the case, as a probe is underway.
Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Sunday said investigation is on in a case involving the chief pontiff of a prominent mutt based in Chitradurga, who has been charged under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, and the truth will come out from the probe.
He, however, declined to make any other comments regarding the allegations against the pontiff and the case, as a probe is underway.
"When there is an important case -- a case has been booked under POCSO Act and there is also a kidnapping case in Chitradurga -- police have registered both the cases and investigation is on. In such a situation, making comments or interpreting the case is not good for investigation," Mr Bommai said in response to a question.
Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, he said, "The police have complete freedom, they will investigate and the truth will come out."
