Ex-JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna Convicted In Sexual Abuse And Rape Case
Former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna convicted by Special Court in Bengaluru in a sexual abuse and rape case. The court will announce quantum of punishment against Revanna on Saturday.
This is the verdict for first of the four separate cases that were registered against him.
The case pertains to a 48-year-old woman who was working as a help at the family's Gannikada farmhouse in Hassan district's Holenarasipura. She was allegedly raped twice in 2021 and the act recorded by the accused on his mobile phone.
Four separate cases were registered against Prajwal Revanna and a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed to probe the cases against him.
Prajwal Revanna is the grandson of former Prime Minister and JD (S) patriarch H D Deve Gowda.
The cases came to light after pen-drives containing explicit videos allegedly involving Prajwal Revanna were reportedly circulated in Hassan, ahead of Lok Sabha polls there on April 26, 2024.
He was arrested by the SIT on May 31 last year, upon arrival at Bengaluru Airport from Germany in connection with a case registered at the Holenarasipura Town Police Station.
Revanna had failed in his bid to retain the Hassan parliamentary constituency in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. JD(S) suspended him from the party following the cases filed against him.
