Prajwal Revanna, an alleged accused of sexual assault video case and the BJP-JD(S) alliance candidate for the Hassan constituency, has been suspended from Janata Dal (Secular) (JD(S)). The decision was announced by JD(S) core committee president GT Devegowda following a meeting in Hubbali. The JD(S) has welcomed the establishment of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the allegations. Karnataka police had earlier registered criminal charges against Prajwal and his father, HD Revanna, based on a complaint by their former house help.
