Former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda’s son and JD(S) MLA HD Revanna was detained by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) in connection to a kidnapping case in Bangalore. The kidnapping case against HD Revanna was registered at KR Nagar police station.
HD Revanna and his son Prajwal Revanna are facing fresh troubles as a case has been lodged based on a youth’s complaint alleging that his mother was abducted after a video of her being allegedly tied and raped by Prajwal emerged.
Prajwal, the sitting JD(S) MP from Hassan, is facing allegations of sexually abusing women. The state government has constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the case after scores of explicit video clips allegedly involving the 33-year-old MP started making the rounds in recent days.
However, in this latest case lodged on Thursday night, the 20-year-old complainant from Krishnaraja Nagar town in Mysuru district said his mother was kidnapped by Revanna. He said six years ago his mother worked at Revanna’s residence in Holenarasipura. Three years ago, she quit the job and returned to her hometown.
About five days ago, Revanna’s confidant Sathish Babanna came to his house and said police may come to them for an inquiry and they should not reveal anything.
“On April 29 at about 9 pm, Sathish Babanna came to our house and said if your mother is caught then you will be in trouble and you may all go to jail. Revanna has asked me to take you. He then took her on a motorcycle,” the complainant said. He said he has no clue where his mother has been taken away.
However, on May 1, he said he received a call from his friends who told him that a video has surfaced showing his mother was tied with a rope and Prajwal allegedly raped her. The complainant said there is threat to his mother’s life and sought police help to find out where his mother was.
The KR Nagar police under Mysuru Rural sub-division registered a case against H D Revanna and Sathish Babanna of kidnapping, wrongful confinement and connivance.
