The distribution was not subtle. A complaint was filed on April 23, 2024, by Prajwal Revanna’s own election agent, Poornachandra Tejaswi M.G. He alleged that "photos and videos carrying morphed images of the JD(S) candidate" were being distributed via pen drives and WhatsApp to influence voters and prevent support for Revanna. The initial defense from Revanna’s camp was immediate: the clips were "morphed" by political rivals. However, as the spread of the clips intensified—with roughly —the accusation of "morphing" crumbled under the weight of forensic evidence.

The trauma was compounded by the mishandling of the case. The primary survivor, a domestic worker, was allegedly abducted by Revanna's parents to prevent her from testifying. In a court of law, Revanna's counsel argued that there was no credible evidence and that the delays were an attempt to tarnish his reputation. However, the court concluded that the prosecution proved the authenticity of the videos through digital forensics and voice matching.

The files consisted of more than capturing acts of sexual violence, rape, and severe abuse. Investigations revealed that the perpetrator had used personal mobile devices to systematically record the encounters over several years, spanning from 2021 to 2024. The victims depicted in the footage included domestic workers, local political party workers, and marginalized women from financially vulnerable backgrounds within the region.
