Suspended JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna, who is facing sexual abuse charges, has booked a return flight ticket to Bengaluru from Munich on May 30, official sources said on Wednesday. According to sources in the Special Investigation Team (SIT), the 33-year-old grandson of JD(S) supremo HD Deve Gowda is expected to land in Bengaluru in the small hours of May 31.
Revanna on Wednesday moved a Special Court seeking anticipatory bail in the rape case registered against him. His advocate filed an anticipatory bail application in the Special Court for cases involving MPs/MLAs. He reportedly left for Germany on April 27, a day after Hassan LS seat went to polls, and is still at large.
The SIT is maintaining vigil at the Kempegowda Airport to arrest him as soon as he lands. The MP, who is seeking re-election as the NDA candidate from Hassan Lok Sabha segment, fled to a foreign country as soon as the news broke out that the Karnataka State Commission for Women requested Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to order an investigation into the huge cache of explicit videos showing several women being sexually assaulted allegedly by him.
