Bengaluru, May 18, 2024: A court has issued an arrest warrant against JDS MP Prajwal Revanna on Saturday in connection to the Karnataka sex video scandal. The warrant has been issued against the JDS MP from Hassan on the basis of the requisition made by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing into the case.

 

As per reports, Revanna did not appear before the investigating team despite being served a notice.

Earlier the day, Former Prime Minister and Janata Dal (Secular) supremo HD Deve Gowda broke his silence on the sexual harassment case against his son HD Revanna and grandson Prajwal Revanna and said that no one should be spared. He also claimed that many other people were involved in the case and that action should be taken against them.

Deve Gowda’s son, JD-S MLA H.D. Revanna, was jailed and recently released on conditional bail in a kidnap case involving a victim of the alleged sex scandal related to his son.

He reportedly left for Germany on April 27 and is still at large. An Interpol Blue Corner Notice has been issued against him, in an effort to bring him back.

Meanwhile, efforts are on to bring Prajwal Revanna back to India. Prajwal, the JD(S) Lok Sabha MP and candidate from the Hassan seat is an accused in the sex video case and is out of the country currently.

Prajwal is the grandson of former prime minister and JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda and stood for the April 26 Lok Sabha election in Hassan as the NDA candidate. His party had formed an alliance with the BJP in 2023.
