New Delhi: Union Minister Sadananda Gowda's son Karthik, who has been accused of rape and cheating by an actress, appeared before the police in Bangalore on Friday in connection with the case against him.
A court in Bangalore had issued an arrest warrant against him last week but the police said they were not able to question him or even find him. He was granted anticipatory bail on Monday as the court said he must cooperate with the police and submit a personal bond of two lakh rupees.
Two weeks ago, the young actress in her police complaint has accused him of “rape, kidnapping and cheating” on the day Karthik got engaged to another woman.
She also claims that he took her to Mangalore and they married there on June 5.

"He told me I am his wife and I should listen to what he says. We became physically close after that. He did not even tell me he was getting engaged. He is my husband. He has to admit that he married me," the actress told the media.
She says she will move the High Court against Karthik's anticipatory bail.
