Ex-MP Prajwal Revanna Faces Fresh FIR Over Sexual Harassment Allegations

Former MP Prajwal Revanna has been slapped with a fresh FIR on charges of sexual harassment, stalking, and criminal intimidation. Along with him, former BJP MLA from Hassan, Preetham Gowda, and two others are also accused. This marks the fourth case registered against Prajwal, who is now in police custody.

Another FIR has been registered against former MP Prajwal Revanna on charges of sexual harassment, stalking, and criminal intimidation, police sources said on Tuesday.

In addition to Revanna, three others, including former BJP MLA from Hassan, Preetham Gowda, have been named in the FIR for allegedly sharing images captured by Prajwal during the sexual harassment of the victim on a video call.

This new FIR marks the fourth case registered against Prajwal. Police sources confirmed to PTI that the SIT has filed a fresh case against Prajwal and three others. The case has been registered under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Act.

Prajwal is currently in police custody. The 33-year-old grandson of JD(S) patriarch and former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda had recently failed to retain the Hassan parliamentary constituency. He was arrested by SIT officials at Bengaluru Airport after returning from Germany on May 31. A 'Blue Corner Notice' had been issued for him by Interpol following a request by the SIT via the Central Bureau of Investigation. A Special Court for Elected Representatives issued an arrest warrant against Prajwal on May 18, based on an application by the SIT. Prajwal has also been booked in three other cases of sexual assault and rape. The cases surfaced after explicit videos involving Prajwal were circulated in Hassan ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, leading to his suspension from JD(S).
