Obscene videos case: JD(S) MLA HD Revanna, arrested on kidnapping charges, sent to judicial custody till May 14
JD(S) MP, Prajwal, fled to Germany after Karnataka State Commission for Women Nagalakshmi Chowdhary wrote to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah seeking an investigation into over obscene videos of Prajwal Revanna allegedly sexually abusing several women. He has also skipped summons issued by the SIT to appear before it.
The ‘obscene videos’ involving Prajwal Revanna started making the rounds ahead of the first phase of Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka on April 26, triggering a political slugfest. A lookout notice against Prajwal Revanna has been issued at all airports in India, along with a Blue Corner notice.
