Karnataka HC rejects bail plea in three cases

The alleged video of the elderly domestic help pleading with Revanna to spare her – due to her age and the fact that she had served his father and other elders of the family – while being sexually abused had caused huge public outrage. The victim was reportedly kidnapped after the video surfaced on social media and police arrested Prajwal Revanna’s father, Janata Dal-Secular MLA HD Revanna, who is out on conditional bail.

The police had also issued an arrest warrant against Prajwal’s mother, Bhavani Revanna, in the case. However, she managed to obtain bail. The bail order was challenged by the Supreme Court’s Special Investigation Team (SIT) but the top court had upheld the bail order of the Karnataka High Court.

Revanna, who has spent four months in the Bengaluru Central Jail, is also accused of forcing a woman from Hassan to undress when she approached him for help in getting her son admitted to a reputed school, and the act to record on video. Both the cases were registered at the Cyber ​​police station in Bengaluru.

The Supreme Court has also stated that it will issue an order within two days in connection with the alleged rape of a former Zilla parishad member in Revanna’s office.
