BJP MLC Shares Nude Pictures Of Porn Stars On WhatsApp Group 

Belagavi: BJP MLC Mahantesh Kavatagimath on Tuesday shocked all his WhatsApp group members that includes political leaders, officials and journalists as well by sharing as many as 50 nude pictures.

The two-time MLC posted 50 nude pictures of porn stars at 4.17pm to the Belagavi Media Force group, which includes several senior politicians, government officials and journalists. Many sharply commented on the post while some questioned the morality of politicians. Within minutes of the post, group administrator Mahaboob Makandar removed Kavatagimath from the group.

Makandar said, "I don't know how the pictures were posted to the group. But, I immediately removed him from the group." He added that he has known Kavatagimath as a decent politician for a long time.

Makandar said he couldn't be held responsible for someone else's mistake. The question of offence arises when somebody's image is damaged intentionally after posting of objectionable material. Besides, a police complaint needs to be registered by the person whose image has been damaged. In this case, nobody was maligned, he said.

Kavatagimath, a follower of Rajya Sabha member Prabhakar Kore, is known to be a decent, soft-spoken politician. He is a director of the prestigious KLE Society and is associated with several educational and financial institutions. He kept his cellphone switched off after he started getting calls by other members in the group and the news was broadcast on TV channels.
