Prajwal Revanna, former Indian Prime Minister HD Dewedowda’s grandson and the National Democratic Alliance’s (NDA) candidate seeking re-election to the Hassan Lok Sabha seat, has recently been involved in a sex video controversy.
Sexual Assault Allegations:
A pen drive containing pornographic videos allegedly revealed that Prajwal Revanna sexually assaulted thousands of women and recorded objectionable videos of them, according to The Indian Express.
The videos reportedly show Prajwal Revanna with numerous women, and this incident has raised concerns about women’s safety and dignity. The Karnataka Mahila Dourjanya Virodhi Vedike filed a complaint with the State Women’s Commission, urging action against the influential politician.
Fleeing the Country:
Prajwal Revanna has left the country and is reportedly in Germany in response to the allegations.
Political Fallout:
The incident has become controversial, with Congress leaders demanding answers from both the JDS and BJP, which are contesting the Lok Sabha polls in alliance.
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar called for clarifications from the leaders of both parties, emphasizing that the allegations involve the grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda.
Kumaraswamy told the media that his family welcomes the SIT probe ordered by the Karnataka Chief Minister. He said that the real news should come forward an the accused whoever it is should be brought to justice.
Legal History:
Last year, Prajwal Revanna filed a case against an individual named Naveen Gowda, alleging that the visuals had been morphed to implicate him.
He obtained an ex-parte injunction from the Principal City Civil and Sessions Court against 89 media houses, preventing them from publishing “defamatory” content about him.
Prajwal Revanna’s situation is complex and has significant political implications. The investigation into the allegations continues, and the controversy remains a focal point in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections 3142.
