On Wednesday, a Bengaluru Special Court denied suspended JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna's request for anticipatory bail. Revanna is accused of sexually assaulting many women in a sex scandal case.

On Wednesday, a Bengaluru Special Court denied suspended JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna's request for anticipatory bail. Revanna is accused of sexually assaulting many women in a sex scandal case. The bail plea was made by Revanna's attorney but the special court for Elected Representative dismissed it. This comes on the heels of Revanna's speculated return to India. Official sources told the news agency PTI that Revanna purchased a return ticket to Bengaluru from Munich on May 30. He is scheduled to arrive in Bengaluru in the early hours of May 31. Prajwal Revanna is expected to arrive at Kempegowda International Airport and the SIT will most likely arrest him the moment he lands. Prajwal Revanna, the grandson of JD(S) leader HD Deve Gowda is facing charges in an alleged rape and sexual harassment case involving a 47-year-old house help. He is still at large, having reportedly fled to Germany on April 27, a day after the Hassan Lok Sabha segment went to elections.

Karnataka sex scandal case: Bengaluru court denies Prajwal Revanna’s request for pre-arrest bail

In a significant development, a court&nbsp;issued an arrest warrant against Prajwal Revanna on Saturday (May 18), who is the main accused in the Karnataka sex video scandal.&nbsp;

The JDS MP from Hassan has been absconding after allegations of serious sexual harassment were levelled against him.

The move came following an application by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) that was formed to investigate the matter, as per local media reports.

Revanna did not appear before the team despite being sent a notice.

Earlier in the day, Janata Dal (Secular) party supremo Deve Gowda broke his silence over the charges levelled against Revanna and stated that he has no objection if action is taken against his grandson in case he is found guilty.

He further said that cases against his son and JD(S) MLA H D Revanna were fabricated. HD Revanna is currently facing charges of sexual harassment and kidnap of a woman.

"... I don't want to comment on things that are going on in the court regarding Revanna. Prajwal Revanna has gone abroad, regarding that Kumaraswamy (Gowda's other son and state JD(S) chief) has on behalf of our family said it is the duty of the government to take action in accordance with the law of the land," Gowda said.

"There are several people connected to this (sexual abuse cases), I don't want to take anyone's names. Kumaraswamy has said that for those who are involved in this matter, action should be taken against all of them, and the affected women should get justice and compensation."

"There is no objection from us for taking action against Prajwal. But people have come to know (facts) about the allegations made against Revanna, and how the case has been created. In one case he has got the bail, in another case, there is a judgment the day after tomorrow... I don't want to comment on it," he added.

JD(S) leader HD Revanna taken into custody in kidnapping case as court denies interim protection

Janata Dal (Secular) MLA H D Revanna was booked on Thursday (May 3) by police for kidnapping an alleged victim of sexual abuse&nbsp;by his son&nbsp;Prajwal Revanna, who is the MP of Hassan and the candidate of the BJP-led NDA in this Lok Sabha election.

The politician was booked after a 20-year-old man filed a police complaint alleging that Revanna’s associate abducted his mother, who was among the many women featured in the alleged sex tapes of Revanna’s son, JD(S) MP Prajwal.

The police filed charges against Revanna and Satish Babanna, a resident of Krishnarajanagara taluk in Mysore district, under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including those related to kidnapping.&nbsp;H D Revanna applied for anticipatory bail in the sexual harassment case just hours after the FIR was filed.

The incident, detailed in the first information report (FIR), happened on April 29. The woman had previously worked at Revanna’s residence and farmhouse in Holenarasipura for six years before quitting three years ago to work as a daily wager in her hometown.

<h2>What does the FIR say?</h2>

According to the FIR, a few days before the first phase of the Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka on April 26, Babanna visited the woman's residence and claimed that Revanna’s wife Bhavani required her assistance for some tasks.&nbsp;

Later, Babanna allegedly cautioned the family not to involve the police if they came to their residence and threatened them with legal action. On April 29, around 9 am, Babanna returned, warning the family that the woman would be implicated in a case if caught by the police. He then took her with him, stating that Revanna had summoned her, as detailed by the woman’s son in the FIR.

“While I was looking for my mother, on May 1, a couple of my friends asked about my mother featured in the alleged sex tapes of Prajwal. I called Satish over the phone to check the whereabouts of my mother and he said that a case had been registered against her and she had to get bail”,&nbsp;the FIR read.

Earlier, Prajwal was accused of sexually assaulting his house help and has fled the country. The state government has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the matter. Explicit videos, reportedly featuring the 33-year-old MP began to circulate in Hassan recently.
