The Karnataka police on Sunday (September 28, 2025) said that the DNA investigation has confirmed that Krishna Ja Rao, the leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and a member of the city municipal council PG Jaganivas Rao, is the biological father of the woman’s child in the case of rape and fraud.
It is alleged in this case that Krishna Rao, an engineering student, sexually assaulted him by promising to marry his former classmate. The woman gave birth to a child on 28 June this year. Investigators said that the DNA report will prove to be an important evidence during the hearing of the case.
Rao was arrested under IPC section
Rao was arrested on July 5 under the provisions of the Indian Code (BNS) related to repeated rapes and having sex. His father was also arrested for helping Rao to avoid the police.
On September 3, the Karnataka High Court granted bail to Krishna Rao and said that the relationship seems to be made by consensus. Police officials said that they have completed their investigation and have filed a charge sheet. Officials said the DNA report strengthens the prosecution case.
Rao’s family refused to marry
According to the complaint, Rao and the woman knew each other from school time. The woman alleged that Rao made physical relations with her by promising her marriage at the end of 2024. She said that when she became pregnant, Rao’s family first agreed to the marriage, but later refused, after which her family lodged a police complaint.
