Supreme Court rejected former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna's bail plea
PTC News Desk: The Supreme Court rejected former Janta Dal (S) MP Prajwal Revanna's appeal challenging Karnataka High Court's order denying him bail in connection with case of rape and sexual abuse. A bench comprising of Justices Bela M. Trivedi and Satish Chandra Sharma refused to entertain the plea.
As senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for Revanna, told the bench that the offence of Section 376 IPC (rape) was not mentioned in the complaint, Justice Trivedi pointed out that there are several other complaints.
Revanna, the grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, was accused in cases related to sexual assaults of multiple women, unearthed after leaking explicit videos during the 2024 Parliament elections.
Revanna contested the Karnataka High Court's decision from October 21, which had rejected his requests for regular and anticipatory bail. He was arrested on May 31 by the CID's SIT at Bengaluru airport upon returning from Germany, where he had stayed for 35 days after explicit videos allegedly showing him with several women surfaced. Additionally, he lost the Lok Sabha election by a margin of over 40,000 votes.
