Bengaluru: In a shocking revelation, a former member of Hassan Zilla Panchayat (ZP) has accused incumbent JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna of raping her multiple times over three years and videographing the alleged crime.
A case was registered by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) based on the statement by the 44-year-old survivor on Wednesday, May 1.
According to the First Information Report (FIR), the woman claimed that when she was a ZP member she used to visit the MLAs and MPs for various development works.
In one such instance in 2021, she met Prajwal seeking his help to get hostel seats for some female students at a local college. The woman, in her statement, said that since the MP was busy, she was asked to meet him the next day.
“The following day I visited the MP at his office and the MP's quarters in Hassan. The staff present there told me to wait on the first floor as there were many others in the hall. Prajwal spoke to some of the women waiting there, spoke with them and sent them off until I was the only one left,” the woman alleged.
As per the survivor, the MP then called her inside a room and she obliged.
“He held my hand, pulled me inside and locked the door. When I asked him why was he closing the door, he told me nothing would happen and made me sit on the bed. He said my husband should talk less and warned me of the consequences. He also said that because of my husband, his mother, Bhavani Revanna, missed the MLA ticket. He told me that if my husband wants to grow politically, I should listen to him [Prajwal],” the woman alleged.
Next, Prajwal allegedly told the woman to lie down on the bed and undress. When the woman refused and said that she would shout, Prajwal allegedly threatened her that he had a gun and warned of dire consequences for her and her husband.
The woman alleged that Prajwal took out his mobile phone and then raped her.
“He raped me and sexually assaulted me and recorded the act on his mobile phone,” the woman alleged. “He threatened to leak the video if I ever spoke about it and told me to be there whenever he wanted. After that, he used to video call me frequently, ask me to be naked during the call and raped me in multiple instances.”
The woman claimed that she was scared and did not make the incident public and chose to come forward after she learnt of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) set up by the Karnataka government to probe the alleged Hassan sex scandal.
A case was registered under Sections 376(2)(n) (commits rape repeatedly on the same woman), 506 (criminal intimidation), 354A(1)(physical contact and advances involving unwelcome and explicit sexual overtures), 354B (assault or use of criminal force to woman with intent to disrobe) and 354C (voyeurism) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and 66E (violation of privacy) of the Information Technology (IT) Act.
Prajwal is also accused in a sexual harassment case along with his father, Holenarasipur MLA HD Revanna, registered at the Holenarasipur police station in Hassan on April 28.

Jihadists are fuming , when they beg funds for madrasa and shaadi bhagya , why not give it for temples .ofcourse 98% tax paid by hindus, jains , christians and sikhs .who are proud nationalists ... well done KCR , even give for all temples .
This is only a show biz. Thousands of poors and farmers are suffering all over india and many people are commenting suicde due to poverty on daily basis. Why dont this CM use the money on uplifting of poors. Is his God poorer than these poor indians. Why the temple management is not showing interest in the improvement or help of needy people. If the wealth these temples have will be used wisely, i think 75 percent of poverty in india can be solved. However, no politician or temple is botherd about this.
Whose money is that, being a responsible CM he should have given it to poorer and downtrodden people around or helped farmers to over come their financial problems. Everyday we see on newspaper of their suicide attempts and deaths due to financial situations....
God does not need anybody's money...God gives, doesn't take.....
in Hyderabad itself so many poor people re there..he should have used this money for their betterment..
There is no God except ALLAH... and Muhammd pbuh is the final messager of ALLAH who conveyed the message of oneness of God to all mankind not just muslims...
Every time the messenger was sent to remind people of the oneness of God and to worship him alone... When the messenger was gone people started to worship whatever they felt... even without knowing and trying to know who GOD is ... People live a life of UNAWARE...
READ THE QURAN and try to know who the TRUE GOD . its a manual for whole of MANKIND... Dont accept until YOU are convinced with what it says ... U Have the choice..
Does GOD require gift from Human? Does GOD will be happy or accept if Human give ornaments which that statue can't even wear by himself unless human help? Does GOD require gift from tax payers money? What GOD is going to do with expensive ornaments?
On the other side Sanghi's protecting their GOD (cow) by violence. Does GOD need help or Protection from his own creation. Muscle head doesn't understand.
There are many people who are living in poverty... It would be a blessing from God if the CM would have looked after the LIVING and not idols...
its pure emotional black mail to people by offering the gold to lifeless objects
May God give a just leader to the people of the World...
For what ??? What benefit will Idols get and what benefit CM will get ?? Instead of spending this huge amount in idols CM could have spend it on poor people so that he could be blessed out of it. In 5 crore how many poor people could have benefited? How many shelters for poor could have built it ? This is nothing but wastage of wealth. God Doesnt need anything from human being. Help poor and be kind to all. This gold will fill the lockers of temple management.
Niralli Homa itta hage aitu.. Seriously crazy CM and crazy beliefs.
