A Bengaluru court on Thursday (Jun 6) extended former Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna's police custody till June 10 in connection with the sexual assault case.

A Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the allegations against Revanna earlier had sought his custody in the first FIR registered against him in Holenarasipura.&nbsp;

The development came as the JD(S) leader's six-day remand ended on June 6.&nbsp;

Revanna was arrested in the early hours of May 31 upon his landing at the Bengaluru airport from Germany.

After a woman who working&nbsp;at the JD(S) leader's house levelled allegations of sexual harassment against Revanna in April, he fled the country and stayed in Germany for almost a month.

<h2>Revanna loses Lok Sabha polls</h2>

Amid the controversy, Revanna lost the Lok Sabha polls to Congress' Shreyas M Patel by a margin of 42,649 votes.

Late last month, Revanna released a self-made video where he said that he would appear before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) on May 31 and cooperate in the probe linked to the alleged obscene video case.

Dismissing allegations that he fled the country on a diplomatic passport, he said that he was out on a "pre-planned" trip and that there was no case filed against him when Karnataka went into polling for the Lok Sabha elections on April 26.

In the video, he also claimed that a political conspiracy was orchestrated against him as he was making significant progress in the field of politics.

"Namaskara, firstly I apologise to my parents, my grandfather, Kumaraswamy and my party workers and people of the state. I didn't inform where I am. When elections were held on (April) 26th, there was no case on me and no SIT was formed then, my foreign trip was pre-planned. That's why I came to foreign. I came to know about it through YouTube and the news. Then SIT notice was also served to me. Then through my X account I asked for seven days time to appear," Revanna said in the self-made video released on May 27.
