A Bengaluru court on Wednesday rejected the bail application of former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna who is accused in multiple cases of rape and sexual harassment.
Prajwal is currently in the custody of the Karnataka Police’s Special Investigation Team.
Prajwal was arrested on May 31 in a case registered against him in Holenarasipura in Hassan district on April 28. He was accused of sexually harassing a 47-year-old former maid.
The cases of sexual abuse came to light after pen-drives containing explicit videos allegedly involving Revanna were reportedly circulated in Hassan, ahead of Lok Sabha polls there on April 26.
Prajwal left for Germany on April 27, a day after Hassan went to the polls. A 'Blue Corner Notice' seeking information on his whereabouts had earlier been issued by the Interpol, following a request by the SIT via the Central Bureau of Investigation.
He was arrested on May 31 upon his arrival from Germany.
