Prajwal Revanna booked for rape
The HinduHassan MP Prajwal Revanna was booked by the Karnataka Police on rape charges on May 2. The charges against Mr. Prajwal, the grandson of former Prime Minister H.D Deve Gowda, were filed after a second woman filed a complaint that she was “coerced to have sexual relationship” with him. A new FIR was also filed on May 2 against Mr. Revanna for allegedly playing a role in kidnapping one of the victims of Mr. Prajwal, sources said. Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara said earlier in the day that a second victim had come forward to lodge a complaint against Mr. Prajwal. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to cancel Prajwal’s diplomatic passport and bring him back to “face the full force of law.” The lookout circular means that Mr. Prajwal will be detained if he reports at any immigration point at airports, sea ports, or at border checkposts.
