Former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna Remanded to Judicial Custody on Multiple Sexual Abuse Charges

Former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna has been remanded to judicial custody until July 8 on charges of rape and sexual abuse. He was produced in court after his four-day Special Investigation Team (SIT) custody ended. The charges surfaced after explicit videos were circulated ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.

In a significant judicial development, former JD(S) Member of Parliament Prajwal Revanna has been remanded to judicial custody until July 8. Accused of rape and sexual abuse involving multiple women, Revanna was presented before the 42nd Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate court judge on Saturday.

The court's decision follows the conclusion of his four-day Special Investigation Team (SIT) custody. On Monday, he had been remanded to judicial custody but was later transferred to SIT custody until June 29 upon a body warrant request by the Special Public Prosecutor.

Revanna, 33, and the grandson of former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, is entangled in four separate sexual abuse cases, all under SIT investigation. The allegations emerged after explicit videos allegedly featuring Revanna were circulated ahead of the Lok Sabha polls. He was subsequently suspended from the JD(S) party.
