Bengaluru: A Blue corner notice has been issued against absconding MP Prajwal Revanna amid furore over sexual harassment allegations. Karnataka home minister G Parameshwara said that Indian authorities had sought the help of Interpol to bring the JD(S) lawmaker back to India. Prajwal is facing multiple sexual harassment cases after explicit videos featuring the 33-year-old went viral in recent days.
Parameshwara said a Special Investigation Team formed to probe the sex scandal will now determine a way to bring Prajwal back. The development came hours after the SIT arrested his father father HD Revanna on molestation and kidnapping charges.
Revanna was picked up from his father Deve Gowda’s residence. Initially, the police team was refused entry and had to wait for 20-25 minutes before a “smiling Revanna opened the door and walked out”, a police source said.
Revanna, who first came under scanner with his son Prajwal following sexual harassment charges made against them, found himself in a tight spot after the rape survivor’s son lodged a police complaint on May 2 that she had been abducted on the night of April 29.
Hours before the court denied bail to Revanna, the survivor was rescued from a farmhouse in Kalenahalli near Hunsur taluk of Mysuru. Police sources said the property belongs to Revanna’s personal assistant. The survivor was then brought to Bengaluru.
The 47-year-old woman from Holenarsipura town had lodged a police complaint against Revanna and Prajwalon April 28, accusing them of sexually harassing her and her daughter when they worked in the household between 2019 and 2022.
