HASSAN— Karnataka MP Prajwal Revanna has been suspended from the Janata Dal (Secular) or JD(S) following a controversy surrounding explicit videos allegedly depicting him engaging in sexual misconduct with multiple women. Prajwal Revanna, who represents Karnataka’s Hassan constituency, has also been served a show cause notice by the party.
The scandal erupted when numerous explicit videos, purportedly involving Prajwal Revanna, surfaced on social media shortly after his constituency went to polls, reported Vartha Bharti.
The videos, allegedly filmed by Prajwal Revanna himself, were widely circulated within the Hassan constituency.
Adding fuel to the fire, a woman has filed a police complaint accusing Prajwal Revanna of sexually assaulting her multiple times between 2019 and 2022. She further alleged that Prajwal Revanna’s father, HD Revanna, also engaged in sexual misconduct with her during a period when his wife was not at home.
Prajwal Revanna has vehemently denied these accusations, claiming that the circulated videos are fabricated. Despite his denial, he abruptly left for Germany soon after the videos surfaced online.
In response to mounting pressure, the Karnataka government has formed a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the obscene videos case. This decision came following a recommendation by the state women’s commission.
Meanwhile, BJP Leader Devaraje Gowda has claimed to possess evidence, including a pen drive containing explicit videos, allegedly implicating the HD Deve Gowda family, including Prajwal Revanna, in illicit activities.
