Karnataka: On Tuesday, Prajwal Revanna, grandson of former PM HD Deve Gowda, has been suspended from the party temporarily until allegations against him over sexual abuse are probed. The Karnataka government has set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe all the charges against Revanna.
JD(S) core committee president GT Devegowda said, “We welcome SIT against Prajwal Revanna. We’ve taken a decision to recommend our party’s national president to suspend him from the party till the SIT investigation is completed.”
Former Karnataka CM and JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy said,”His (Prajwal Revanna) suspension is till the investigation is completed.” The grandson of former prime minister H D Deve Gowda Prajwal Revanna is facing sexual abuse charges and some videos of him have surfaced online.
Based on a complaint from a woman, who worked in their household, Police on Sunday booked Prajwal and his father — JD(S) MLA and former minister H D Revanna — for sexual harassment and criminal intimidation. Kumaraswamy’s nephew Prajwal Revanna is an MP from Hassan and is the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidate from the same seat in the Lok Sabha elections.
The Karnataka government has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the case of alleged sexual harassment of hundreds of women by the MP. Some video clips allegedly showing Prajwal Revanna’s involvement in the sexual harassment of hundreds of women have surfaced in Hassan in recent days. The move came after Karnataka State Women’s Commission Chairperson Dr. Nagalakshmi Chowdhary wrote a letter to the government.
