A Bengaluru Court on Monday granted bail to JD(S) MLA and former Karnataka Minister H D Revanna in a sexual assault case.
Previously, the 42nd Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court granted the 66-year-old politician interim relief. Judge Preeth J refused to hear SIT’s objections and ordered bail.
Sexual Assault Allegations
The case, filed on April 28 at the Holenarasipura town police station, involves allegations of sexual assault by Revanna and his son, Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, on a 47-year-old housekeeper.
Prajwal Revanna purportedly departed for Germany on April 27, and an arrest warrant has been issued against him in the sexual assault case.
Blue Corner Notice
Interpol has issued a Blue Corner Notice against Prajwal, who remains at large. HD Revanna was apprehended on May 4 and was remanded into four-day police custody. Subsequently, he was transferred into judicial custody. As his judicial custody drew to a close, he obtained conditional bail from a special court designated for MPs and MLAs.
