After Prajwal, SIT issues lookout notice against father HD Revanna
Karnataka Home Minister Gangadharaiah Parameshwara said on Saturday that a second lookout notice has been issued against both Janata Dal (Secular) MLA HD Revanna and his son, MP Prajwal Revanna. The home minister said the notice was issued on Friday, and the two must respond by Saturday evening. "Revanna has also applied for bail for the Mysore kidnapping case as well," he added.
Revanna booked on charge of kidnapping
A complaint has been filed against Revanna by a man who alleged that his mother was "sexually abused" in Mysuru. In his complaint, the man stated that his mother worked as a housemaid for Revanna for six years. The man later uncovered a video showing Prajwal allegedly sexually abusing his mother. He stated that shortly after the video was revealed, his mother went missing.
FIR lists Revanna as accused number one
He then filed a kidnapping complaint against Revanna and Babanna on Thursday night. The JD(S) leader and his associate were booked under Sections 364A (kidnapping for ransom), 365 (kidnapping with intent to cause harm), and 34 (common intention) of the IPC. The FIR also lists Revanna as accused number one Babanna as accused number two.
Revanna, son, being investigated
Revanna and his son, Prajwal, the sitting Hassan MP, are being investigated by a Special Investigative Team (SIT) formed by the Karnataka government over claims of sexual harassment and criminal intimidation. Multiple videos of Prajwal sexually assaulting multiple women were leaked days before the Lok Sabha elections in Haasan. Amid the ongoing case against him, he allegedly fled to Germany.
