BJP MLC posts porn pics in WhatsApp group, apologises later
May 03, 2017  18:15
A BJP MLC from Karnataka allegedly posted pornographic photographs on a WhatsApp group meant to share information between government officers and the media.

Mahantesh Kavatagimath, however, apologised for posting porn pictures on the WhatsApp group of 'Belagavi Media Force', saying it was an "unintentional act".

"The content was posted accidentally when my phone hanged while switching off, I guess. At that time I was travelling by flight. I apologise for the incident, it was not intentional," he told reporters.

"Why would I share porn in a group with senior politicians, government officials and journalists?" he said.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, however, refused to comment on the incident saying, "I am not aware of it."

To a query, Kavatagimath said there will be no political fallout because of this incident, as he had already apologised.
