Kavya Gowda Family Dispute: Accused Ravikumar Presents His Side, Blames Property Conflict
In a significant development in the case involving popular Kannada television actress Kavya Gowda, one of the accused, Ravikumar, has now come forward with his detailed statement, presenting a contrasting version of events surrounding the violent family dispute at her residence. This response follows earlier allegations by the actress, who claimed she and her husband Somashekar were assaulted by family members, with Ravikumar specifically accused of issuing serious threats during the altercation. A police case has been registered, and the matter remains under active investigation.
Ravikumar Attributes Conflict to Long-Standing Property Dispute
Responding to the allegations made by Kavya Gowda, Ravikumar has asserted that the root cause of the conflict is not as portrayed by the actress but rather stems from a long-standing property dispute. According to his account, the family has been embroiled in disagreements for several years over ownership and living arrangements in a large house situated in KR Puram. Ravikumar explained that tensions reached a boiling point when Kavya Gowda allegedly demanded that certain family members vacate the premises, leading to heated arguments over shared space and property rights.
Dispute Ongoing for Over Three Years, Involving High-Value Property
Ravikumar emphasized that this issue is not a sudden occurrence but has been ongoing for more than three years, with emotions running high due to the complexity of the matter. He further revealed that the house in question is valued at over ₹100 crore, which adds a significant financial dimension to the conflict. The altercation on January 26, as described by Ravikumar, involved multiple family members and was a result of accumulated frustration over this property issue. He has denied the seriousness and intent of the allegations against him, arguing that the dispute has been misrepresented in public discourse.
Conflicting Complaints Filed, Ravikumar Calls It a Family Matter
Acknowledging that police complaints have been filed from both sides, Ravikumar maintained that the situation should be viewed as a family and property-related conflict rather than a personal attack. He stated that his daughter and other relatives were also part of the disagreement, and the confrontation was marked by high emotions. This perspective contrasts sharply with Kavya Gowda's earlier claims, where she alleged that family members tried to raise a hand against her two-year-old daughter and threatened to assault her, breaking her silence on the matter.
Police Investigation Continues Amid Widespread Attention
The case has garnered wide attention due to the involvement of a well-known television actress like Kavya Gowda, renowned for her roles in popular serials such as Radha Ramana and Gandhari, and the serious nature of the allegations. Police officials have confirmed that they are actively investigating the incident, which includes:
- Examining all available evidence thoroughly.
- Recording statements from all parties concerned to get a comprehensive view.
- Monitoring the situation for any further developments as the probe progresses.
As the investigation continues, further updates are expected to shed more light on this complex family dispute that has captured public interest.
