Though the cops are saying that he is absconding, Dharwar residents claim he is still in the town. Gaonkar had, on December 28, 2010, uploaded clips of the victim, Sowmya, and him having sex. It has now been learnt that he even sent her obscene photographs in 2009. When her parents approached the Karwar SP, Raman Gupta, he let him go with a warning, a source close to the family said. But Ashwath went ahead, and did what everybody fearedu00a0-- he uploaded the pictures on to some prominent social networking sites. Just before he uploaded them, he threatened Sowmya and asked to Dharwar to him, but she refused. Worried parents contacted the police again, but to no avail. A family friend said, " If the police had been more alert the first time, this wouldn't have happened. Now that girl's life is ruined because of sheer negligence." However, Sowmya's parents now want to close the matter. When this reporter tried to contact them, they said,u00a0"Please don't ask us anymore about the incident, we just want to forget the whole thing." Sources close to the family said that Sowmya has shifted base to Bangalore to avoid the public eye and the embarrassment. Meanwhile, the MMS clip is still online, and the police have done nothing to take it down yet. Karwar Superintendent Raman Gupta didn't wish to comment on the matter - he only said, "We'll talk about it later." On the other hand, Dharwar police claim that they are yet to receive any complaints.
