Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], May 31 (ANI): After the Janata Dal (Secular) suspended MP Prajwal Revanna was arrested in the obscene video case, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara said on Friday that the authorities will do what is legally required and it seems that Revanna has cooperated with the authorities.
Revanna was arrested at Bengaluru airport in the early hours of Friday and was brought to the CID office in Bengaluru.
G Parameshwara said, “Prajwal Revanna arrived from Germany at 12:50 am. A warrant was issued earlier for which the SIT has taken him into custody. Further legal action will be taken by the police. I don’t have much information on this yet. He had been arrested, the authorities will do what is legally required to be done.”
“We have already informed that anyone who has trouble can come forward and file a complaint. We have to see what kind of development can happen in the future. Prajwal Revanna seems to have cooperated with the authorities. After all that, they have taken him into custody,” Karnataka Home Minister added.
Meanwhile, Prajwal is expected to be produced before the Magistrate in the Special Court of People’s Representatives within 24 hours of arrest.
The anticipatory bail application filed by Revanna earlier is also expected to be considered void as the JD (S) suspended MP has already been arrested by the Special Investigation Team (SIT).
The SIT may request the court to hand over Prajwal to their custody. Judicial custody will also result in imprisonment.
The SIT has also filed an application in the High Court questioning HD Revanna’s bail in the kidnapping case of a woman from KR Nagar, Mysore. According to SIT, Revanna should continue to remain in custody until this investigation is over and therefore, the SIT has moved the High Court to cancel the bail.
HD Revanna was arrested earlier in connection with a kidnapping case on April 29. He was granted conditional bail by a special court for people’s representatives.
Prajwal Revanna is facing a probe by the SIT over allegations of sexual harassment and criminal intimidation following a complaint by a woman who worked in his household. He returned to India from Berlin, Germany, nearly a month after leaving the country on a diplomatic passport and was immediately taken into custody. (ANI)
