Judicial authority in Bengaluru denies Prajwal Revanna's request for pre-arrest protection in sexual assault matter.
In Bengaluru, on Wednesday, a Special Court made the decision to deny the anticipatory bail request of Prajwal Revanna, a suspended leader of the JD party. He was facing serious allegations of sexual abuse from multiple women in a rape case. His advocate, Arun, had made the bail application on his behalf, which was ultimately rejected by the court.

According to official sources, Prajwal had made plans to return to Bengaluru from Munich on May 30th. He is expected to arrive in the early hours of May 31st. Prajwal, who is the grandson of JD supremo HD Deve Gowda, is facing charges in a case involving a 47-year-old woman who has accused him of rape and sexual harassment. It was reported that he had left for Germany on April 27th, the day after the elections for the Hassan Lok Sabha segment, and has been avoiding authorities ever since.

Back on May 18th, the Special Court for Elected Representatives had issued an arrest warrant for Prajwal, following a request from the SIT. However, the SIT was able to apprehend his father and JD MLA, HD Revanna, who was also allegedly involved in the kidnapping of the woman. All eyes are now on the Kempegowda International Airport, where Prajwal is expected to land on May 31st. The SIT is ready to arrest him as soon as he arrives.

Meanwhile, Prajwal's mother, Bhavani Revanna, has also filed an anticipatory bail in the special court for elected representatives. She is afraid of being arrested in connection with her husband's alleged involvement in the kidnapping case. The SIT has filed objections to her bail request and is also seeking to cancel the interim anticipatory bail that was granted to HD Revanna in the same case. The decision on Bhavani Revanna's bail request will be made on May 31st. The PTI news agency has been closely following this case and will continue to provide updates on the developments.
