Hassan: The brother of former MP Prajwal Revanna, Suraj Revanna, has been taken into custody by the police on Sunday for charges of "unnatural offences" against him. This comes after he was accused of sexually abusing multiple women. According to police sources, Suraj was questioned overnight at the CEN police station before being arrested.
The 27-year-old man who filed the complaint stated that Suraj had sexually abused him at his farmhouse in Ghannikada on June 16. This resulted in the Holenarasipura police registering a case against Suraj under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code, including section 377, 342, and 506. However, Suraj, who is the eldest son of Holenarasipura MLA H D Revanna and the grandson of former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, has denied all charges and claimed that the complaint was filed in an attempt to extort Rs 5 crore from him.
In fact, Suraj's close aide Shivakumar also filed a complaint against the JD worker for extortion. Shivakumar alleged that the party worker was threatening to falsely accuse Suraj of sexual assault and demand money from him. The amount initially demanded was Rs 5 crore, but it was later reduced to Rs 2 crore. Suraj's brother Prajwal Revanna, who was a former MP from Hassan, is currently in police custody for allegedly sexually assaulting multiple women. He was arrested upon his return from Germany last month.
Prajwal's parents, H D Revanna and Bhavani, have also been accused of kidnapping and keeping one of Prajwal's alleged victims in custody. They are currently out on bail. This is not the first time that the Revanna family has been involved in such controversies, as Prajwal's uncle and Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy has also faced similar accusations in the past. However, Suraj has maintained his innocence and stated that he will cooperate with the investigation to clear his name.
