In a startling development, a woman has stepped forward with damning accusations of sexual assault and harassment against suspended JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna and his father, HD Revanna, amidst the ongoing probe into the sex tape controversy in Karnataka.
The woman, whose identity remains undisclosed, alleges that four to five years ago, Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna raped her mother at his Bengaluru residence. She provided detailed testimony to the Special Investigation Team (SIT), outlining the harrowing incidents, as reported by India Today.
In a chilling account, she recounted instances where Prajwal coerced her into removing her clothes during video calls in 2020 and 2021, threatening harm if she refused. She asserted that Prajwal also threatened her mother, mentioning potential repercussions for her father’s job and even violence against her.
Moreover, the woman accused both Prajwal and HD Revanna of rape and sexual harassment, claiming that Prajwal specifically targeted female servants at his residence. She lamented that despite several women facing similar harassment, only a few have dared to speak out publicly.
The repercussions of these allegations have been severe for her family, she revealed. Her father allegedly lost his job after they filed a complaint, and the family was reportedly forced to sell their land two years after the incident due to the distress caused.
Prajwal Revanna, a 33-year-old JD(S) MP, and his father HD Revanna find themselves embroiled in a high-profile scandal, with three FIRs registered so far, including charges of rape and kidnapping. Prajwal’s sudden departure abroad on April 27, following the viral spread of video tapes, has added further intrigue to the unfolding saga.
In a related development, former Karnataka minister HD Revanna has been remanded to judicial custody until May 14, indicating the seriousness of the allegations.
These shocking revelations have sent ripples through Karnataka’s political landscape, prompting widespread condemnation and calls for a thorough investigation into the matter. As the probe unfolds, the state remains gripped by a tumultuous mix of scandal and intrigue, with the future of the accused and the victims hanging in the balance.
