Prajwal Revanna video shocker: Woman shares ordeal in alleged sex scandal | Latest News India

A major controversy has erupted in Karnataka after reports surfaced of an alleged sex scandal involving former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda's grandson and Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna. The Karnataka government on Sunday followed a letter from Women Commission Chairperson Dr. Nagalakshmi, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was set up to probe the alleged scandal.

Some explicit video clips allegedly involving Prajwal Revanna have been doing the rounds in Hassan for the last few days.

A first information report (FIR) of sexual harassment was lodged against Prajwal Revanna and his father HD Revanna, an MLA representing Holenarasipur, based on a complaint from a woman who worked at Revanna's house.

The complainant told police that she decided to come forward and name the father-son duo after seeing videos of other victims narrating their ordeals.

The woman said Prajwal Revanna started calling her to his quarters in the fourth month of her employment.

“In a household with six female employees, we were gripped by fear whenever Prajwal Revanna came home. Even male colleagues cautioned us to be careful,” she said.

The woman alleged that HD Revanna and Prajwal Revanna sexually abused women workers in their houses.

“When (HD) Revanna’s wife was not there, he would call the women to the storeroom and touch them while giving them fruits. He removed sari pins and sexually abused women,” she added.

The complainant also alleged that Prajwal Revanna misbehaved with her daughter during a video call.

“My daughter blocked his number after repeated calls,” the complainant said.

The case was registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including 354A (sexual harassment), 354D (stalking), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 509 (outrageous modesty of a woman).

Prajwal Revanna is said to have left the country for Germany.

“If he (Prajwal) has gone to a foreign country, the SIT will be responsible for bringing him back and continuing the investigation. We will not tell the SIT to conduct the investigation this way or that way,” Home Minister G. Parameshwara told reporters.

Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said: “…we are hanging our heads in shame.” “I saw in the media that he 'escaped'. This is an unforgivable crime. It's a matter of shame. He is a…” MP and grandson of a former prime minister. He represented the same constituency that the former Prime Minister had represented.”

The JD(S), part of the BJP-led NDA, had again fielded Prajwal from Hassan, who went to polls on April 26.
