Former Karnataka Chief Minister and JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy has distanced himself from the ongoing ‘sex video’ case involving his nephew Prajwal Revanna, stating that he has nothing to do with it. Kumaraswamy made this remark while addressing a press conference on Monday.
Former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda’s grandson, Prajwal Revanna, has been accused of sexual harassment by his former house help, leading to the filing of an FIR against him and his father, H.D. Revanna. The case has been registered under sections 354A (sexual harassment), 354D (stalking), 506 (criminal intimidation), and 509 (outraging modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code.
A case of sexual harassment and stalking has been filed against JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna and his father, HD Revanna, in Holenarasipur, Karnataka. The complainant, a relative of Revanna’s wife, alleges inappropriate behavior from both father and son. Prajwal Revanna is facing additional accusations of making vulgar video calls to her daughter. The complaint also raises concerns about the safety of the complainant and her family. The case came to light after the circulation of objectionable videos allegedly involving Prajwal Revanna. The Karnataka government has formed a three-member SIT to investigate the matter.
JDS MP Prajwal Revanna is embroiled in a sex scandal, as videos purportedly showing him sexually assaulting women are being circulated. Revanna has filed a complaint, claiming the videos are doctored, while a special investigation team has been formed to probe the allegations. The Congress alleges Revanna recorded the videos and distributed them through pen drives, while the Karnataka Mahila Dourjanya Virodhi Vedike filed a complaint with the Women’s Commission. The CID, led by IPS officer Vijay Kumar Singh, is investigating the case.
