In Kalaburagi, the Home Minister of Karnataka, Dr G Parameshwara, addressed the press on Thursday regarding the ongoing case involving Hassan JD MP Prajwal Revanna. The MP has been accused of sexually abusing women and a lookout circular has been issued for his arrest.
Prajwal had requested for an extension of seven days to appear before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) as he is currently abroad. However, the Home Minister clarified that according to the law, an extension of more than 24 hours cannot be granted.
As soon as the authorities learned of Prajwal's whereabouts, a lookout notice was issued and all ports and airports have been informed about it. Prajwal, who is the grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda and son of MLA and former Minister HD Revanna, has been under scrutiny after explicit video clips allegedly involving him surfaced in Hassan.
Not long ago, Prajwal contested in the Lok Sabha elections as the NDA candidate for the Hassan constituency. The Home Minister stated that the SIT is currently seeking legal advice on whether or not to give Prajwal more time to appear before them. However, since there is no provision for an extension beyond 24 hours, the SIT will proceed with his arrest.
In addition to the previous complaint filed by a woman accusing Prajwal and his father of sexual harassment, another victim has come forward and lodged a complaint against him. The Minister did not disclose any details about the new complaint but confirmed that her statement has been recorded.
The case continues to unfold as the SIT works towards gathering evidence and conducting thorough investigations. The authorities are determined to bring justice to the victims and ensure that the accused is held accountable for his actions.
