Suraj has, however, rubbished the charges, dubbing them "politically motivated".
According to the complaint, the incident occurred on June 16 at Suraj's farmhouse in Gannikada village, Holenarasipur taluk. The complainant alleged that he was coerced into a "homosexual act" by the legislator. Despite initially facing resistance from the Holenarasipur police, the victim managed to file his complaint at the DG&IGP’s office in Bengaluru.
