"We received a complaint on Wednesday night and based on it, we have registered a case against seven people, including the BJP MLA under various sections for rape, sexual harassment, criminal intimidation, criminal conspiracy, voyeurism, intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace, Information Technology Act, and others," a senior police officer said.

The matter is being investigated, he said.

The fresh FIR against the BJP MLA, also a former minister, comes days after he was arrested by the Bengaluru Police in connection with the two cases filed against him for alleged harassment, threats and casteist abuse, police said.
