Supreme Court Denies Bail to Ex-MP Prajwal Revanna in Rape Case
The court upheld the Karnataka High Court's decision amid multiple allegations and leaked explicit videos involving the former JD(S) leader.
- Prajwal Revanna, grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, faces serious allegations of rape and sexual assault involving multiple women.
- The Supreme Court refused to grant bail, agreeing with the Karnataka High Court's decision from October 21, which cited his influence and potential to tamper with evidence.
- Explicit videos allegedly involving Revanna surfaced in April, prompting a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe and his subsequent arrest at Bengaluru airport.
- Revanna's legal team argued the initial complaint did not include charges under Section 376 of the IPC, but the court found multiple complaints and evidence against him.
- The accusations include a case filed by a former domestic worker and claims of coercive behavior towards her daughter, further complicating Revanna's legal challenges.
