Bangalore-based model on Wednesday filed a case against Karthik Gowda, son of Railway Minister Sadananda Gowda under section 420, 376 and 406 (charges relating to cheating and dishonesty) of the Indian Penal Code.

The model claims that she got married to Karthik Gowda on June 5, 2014 after meeting him on May 8, 2014. The model alleges, "We know each other from May 8, 2014. This was after the election and before the results. We became very close friends. We met because my family was looking for a groom, so for that reason I met Karthik. So he promised me that he will marry me. So he got married to me on June 5 2014 in his Mangalore house."

She added, "His mother was not there. Both us were present and the driver was there,' she added. The model also said that she wanted his family to accept her as their daughter-in-law. "I will be a very good daughter-in-law," she said.

Union Railway Minister Sadananda Gowda, however, refuted the allegations saying, "Shocked to see this report, it hurts me. My personal and public life is an open book."

He also said that since the news came right after his son Karthik Gowda's engagement, it raises suspicion. "Suddenly after engagement, if a girl claims such things it leads to suspicion,' said Gowda.
