Janata Dal (S) leader and Karnataka MLA HD Revanna was granted conditional bail on Monday, May 13, by the Bengaluru court in connection with a kidnapping case linked to sexual abuse allegations against him and his son Prajwal.
Revanna, the JD(S) MLA from Holenarsipura, was arrested by the special investigation team (SIT) on May 4 after a kidnapping case was registered against him at KR Nagar police station in Bengaluru. Revanna has termed this case a “political conspiracy” against him.
A Special Investigative Team (SIT), constituted by the Karnataka government, is probing the alleged sexual abuse against HD Revanna and his son Prajwal Revanna. Prajwal Revanna, the incumbent MP, is seeking another term from the Hassan Lok Sabha constituency. The voting for the seat took place on April 26.
Earlier, JD (S) chief HD Kumaraswamy alleged that the Karnataka government does not want a fair inquiry. “They are misusing the office. Nothing is going to happen ultimately. They wanted character assassination of HD Revanna and for that reason, they are using their office,” Kumaraswamy told ANI.
Meeting Karnataka Governor Tawara Chanda Gehlot on May 9, a delegation of the Janata Dal (Secular) submitted a memorandum and urged Gehlot to recommend a CBI probe.
