Indian MP Prajwal Revanna Arrested on Return from Germany Over Sexual Abuse Allegations

The Janata Dal (Secular) leader was taken into custody by an all-women police team at Bengaluru airport, facing multiple charges of sexual assault.

  • Revanna fled to Germany in April after videos allegedly showing him assaulting women surfaced.
  • He returned to India following pressure from his influential political family, including former PM HD Deve Gowda.
  • A special court had denied his anticipatory bail request, leading to his arrest.
  • The BJP has distanced itself from Revanna, despite their alliance with JD(S) in Karnataka.
  • Revanna and his father, also accused of abuse, claim the charges are politically motivated.
