Bengaluru police have filed a rape case against BJP leader Somashekar, also known as Gym Soma, following a complaint lodged by a 26-year-old woman. According to police sources, investigators are actively searching for Soma.
The woman claimed that she and Soma knew each other through a mutual acquaintance, and he had promised to provide financial support for her marriage. A few months ago, he allegedly invited her to his flat, offering to help with the marriage funds, but instead, he made an inappropriate advance towards her.
The woman, who had become engaged the previous year, had sought financial assistance for her wedding. Soma is believed to have fled the city, and the police are continuing their search. Soma had previously contested the 2018 assembly elections from the Sakleshpur constituency in Hassan but was unsuccessful.
