The Karnataka High Court dismissed the bail and anticipatory bail pleas of suspended JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna in a sexual assault case. The court rejected Revanna’s arguments regarding inconsistencies and delays in the complaint, citing evidence of threats to the victim and findings from forensic reports.
Suraj Revanna, a Member of Legislative Council and grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, has been remanded to 14 days of judicial custody in connection with a sexual abuse case. The urgency of the case led to a special Sunday hearing at the magistrate’s residence. The victim has expressed concerns about potential influence from Suraj’s family on the investigation.
