Prajwal Revanna ‘Sex Scandal’: JD(S) MLA HD Revanna Arrested By SIT In Mysuru Abduction Case

JD(S) MLA H D Revanna, whose son Prajwal Revanna is facing sexual abuse allegations was taken into custody on Saturday.

Prajwal Revanna Sex Scandal: JD(S) MLA H D Revanna, the son of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda and father of party MP Prajwal Revanna, who is facing damning sexual abuse charges in a massive ‘sex tapes’ scandal, was arrested by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Karnataka Police on Saturday evening.

According to officials, HD Revanna, the JD(S) MLA from Holenarasipur, was detained from Deve Gowda’s residence after a court rejected his plea seeking anticipatory bail in the alleged sex scandal case involving his son and JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna, who reportedly fled the country after the allegations surfaced.

They said a case was registered against Revanna, a former Minister and son of JD(S) patriarch and former PM H D Deve Gowda and his confidant Sathish Babanna in Mysuru on Thursday night for allegedly abducting a woman, who is also reportedly a victim of alleged sexual abuse by his son and MP Prajwal Revanna.

The SIT had later rescued the alleged victim from a farmhouse owned by one Rajasekhar, a close aide of Revanna, in Kalenahalli area, police said, adding that the woman’s statement will be recorded soon.

The incident came to light after the woman’s son filed a complaint, claiming that his mother, who worked as a maid at the house of HD Revanna for almost five years, had been kidnapped from her house  by the MLA’s relative, Satish Babanna on April 29.

The complainant stated his mother is being held captive at a farmhouse owned by Rajasekhar in Kalenalli, following which a SIT, which is probing the sexual abuse allegations against the father-son duo, mounted a rescue operation and freed her.

Notably, the a Bengaluru court had recently rejected an anticipatory bail plea of HD Revanna in the abduction case.

HD Revanna’s son, Prajwal Revanna, is currently on the run and has reportedly fled the country after allegations of grave sexual assault surfaced against him last week. Prajwal’s anticipatory bail application was turned down by the Justice Santosh Gajanana Bhat’s bench of People’s Representative Court in Bengaluru.

Officials said the CBI is likely to issue a “Blue Corner Notice” against Prajwal Revanna to locate the whereabouts of the Hassan MP and bring him to book.
