A storm of controversy has engulfed 33-year-old Prajwal Revanna, the grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda and a sitting member of Lok Sabha representing the Hassan constituency. Allegations of sexual assault and misconduct have surfaced against Prajwal, prompting a swift and dramatic series of events.
Trouble began brewing just days before the Lok Sabha elections, when thousands of pen drives containing purported videos of Prajwal engaging in sexual acts with multiple women circulated in the Hassan constituency. The scandal sent shockwaves across Karnataka and beyond, leading to widespread condemnation and calls for accountability.
While Prajwal and his family vehemently denied the allegations, claiming the videos were doctored to tarnish his reputation, the situation took a turn for the worse when a female house help lodged a formal complaint accusing Prajwal and his father, HD Revanna, of sexual abuse. The complaint detailed disturbing incidents of harassment and assault allegedly perpetrated by the father-son duo between 2019 and 2022.
In response to mounting pressure, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah formed a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the charges against Prajwal. However, just as the investigation gained momentum, Prajwal fled to Frankfurt, Germany, raising questions about his intentions and accountability.
The incident has sparked a political firestorm, with the Congress targeting its rival BJP over its alleged prior knowledge of the scandal. Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra questioned Prime Minister Modi's silence on the matter, while Home Minister Amit Shah condemned the allegations and called for swift action by Prajwal's party, JD(S).
In the midst of escalating tensions, JD(S) announced Prajwal's suspension pending the outcome of the investigation, with calls for his expulsion growing louder within the party ranks. Meanwhile, efforts to bring Prajwal back to India have intensified, with demands for the revocation of his diplomatic passport and his return through diplomatic channels.
As the saga unfolds, the nation watches with bated breath, awaiting further developments in this high-profile case that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape. Stay tuned to ISH News for the latest updates on this developing story and other news from around the world.
