Ex-Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy has suggested that Karnataka government must handle the Mysuru gang-rape case delicately and follow what was done in Hyderabad. "I appreciate the Hyderabad police in dealing with...rape case...Unless stringent action is taken things won't improve," he said. Notably, in 2019, Hyderabad police had killed all four accused of gang-rape and murder of a young veterinarian.
