As a political storm erupted in the middle of the Lok Sabha elections in the state, Revanna’s brother and former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy distanced the party from the matter.
Hours after the Karnataka government decided to form a Special Investigation Team to probe the alleged role of JD(S) MP and its Hassan candidate Prajwal Revanna in a sex scandal reportedly involving several women, a woman, in her complaint to police, also named his father HD Revanna, Holenarasipura MLA and son of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, as an accused.
Prajwal is said to have left the country for Germany. The woman complainant told Holenarasipura police that she decided to step forward and name Revanna and Prajwal after watching online clips of other victims narrating their ordeal. Detailing her case, she alleged that the abuse took place between 2019 and 2022.
