Forward gone wrong: Karnataka legislator spams official WhatsApp group with porn
The legislator, Mahanesh Kavatagimath has not been reachable for comment
A BJP legislator from Karnataka allegedly posted 50 pornographic images on a WhatsApp group that comprised lawmakers, councillors and senior officers as its members.
Reported by NDTV, the group "Belagavi media force", set up for the sharing of news and alerts, was flooded with the images on Tuesday.
The members include police officers right from the chief, MPs, women officers, social activists and even people from the media.
Many of the group members, stunned at the barrage of obscene images, quit the group. Others reacted with strong condemnation and disapproval.
The legislator, Mahantesh Kavatagimath, a member of the state Legislative Council, has been unavailable for comment after the embarrassing slip.
