In a kidnapping case, a local court granted bail to Janata Dal (Secular) MLA HD Revanna. In the Karnataka sex scandal case connected to leaked pornographic videos, his son Prajwal Revanna is an accused party.
HD Revanna spent three days in the Special Investigation Team’s (SIT) custody after being taken into prison on May 4. The JD(S) leader was asked by the local court to post a ? 5 lakh bail bond.
He is HD Deve Gowda’s son, the previous prime minister. According to allegations, he assisted in the abduction of a victim of sexual assault involving his son Prajwal Revanna.
HD Revanna’s attorney, CV Nagesh, contended last Thursday that the MLA’s case could not be pursued legally because the SIT’s petition had no proof against the MLA.
Nagesh claimed that H Revanna should never have been arrested in the first place because he might have been brought back for further interrogation at any time after being questioned.
“There was no allegation of the survivor being forced or trapped. There was no demand. HD Revanna is a politician and there are political reasons behind his arrest. The incident took place on April 29 and the FIR was filed on May 2. There was no kidnap or illegal detention. The survivor was a maid at HD Revanna’s residence and the kidnap charges don’t apply,” the lawyer said.
After the woman’s son filed a missing person’s report implicating HD Revanna, the Karnataka Police had on Friday filed a FIR against him in relation to the kidnapping of the woman, who was reportedly among the survivors of his son’s sex tape controversy.
His relative Satish Babu was taken into custody on Friday from the Mysuru district after being mentioned as the second offender in the FIR.
