The Chief Minister of Karnataka has asked the Prime Minister to revoke Prajwal Revanna's Diplomatic Passport.

In a recent development, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the ongoing scandal involving JD MP Prajwal Revanna. The letter, dated May 22nd, has been released by the CM's office on Thursday and highlights the urgent need for action to secure the return of the accused to India.

In his letter, CM Siddaramaiah has expressed his deep concern over the grave offences that Prajwal Revanna has been accused of committing. These incidents have not only shocked the people of Karnataka but have also caused nationwide outrage. The CM has also highlighted the fact that the accused, who is a Member of Parliament and the grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, fled the country on April 27th, 2024 using his Diplomatic Passport.

According to CM Siddaramaiah, Prajwal Revanna has abused his diplomatic privileges to escape criminal proceedings and his actions have caused serious harm to the reputation of the state. The government of Karnataka has taken swift actions by setting up a Special Investigation Team to look into the matter. However, despite issuing a Look Out Circular, a Blue Corner Notice, and two notices under Section 41A of the Criminal Procedure Code, the accused has managed to evade authorities and remains in hiding.

The FIR filed against Prajwal Revanna contains charges of rape, sexual assault, and other heinous crimes against women. CM Siddaramaiah has stressed that such abuse of privileges and non-cooperation with the legal proceedings deserve serious action from the Central Government. He has also expressed his disappointment that his previous letter on the same issue has not been acted upon.

In light of these circumstances, CM Siddaramaiah has urged PM Modi to take immediate and necessary actions to cancel Prajwal Revanna's diplomatic passport under Section 10 of the Passport Act, 1967 or any other relevant law. He has emphasized the importance of securing the accused's return to India in the interest of public safety. The letter concludes with a call for prompt action and cooperation from the Central Government to bring the accused to justice.
