Karnataka MP Prajwal Revanna was today suspended from the Janata Dal (Secular) or JD(S) amid a row over explicit videos - allegedly showing him sexually assaulting multiple women.
Prajwal Revanna - grandson of JDS chief and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda - has also been issued a show cause notice by the party.
The video clips, allegedly involving Prajwal Revanna, surfaced on social media a day after Phase 2 of the Lok Sabha elections.
The scandal involves hundreds of explicit videos that were allegedly shot by the MP and were circulated widely in the Hassan consituency.
This was followed up by a woman filing a police case against Prajwal Revanna, accusing him of sexual assault. She alleged she had been sexually abused multiple times between 2019 and 2022.
The complainant also claimed that Prajwal Revanna misbehaved with her daughter over a video call and had "vulgar conversations" with her.
The woman alleged that Prajwal's father HD Revanna also sexually assaulted her when his wife was not at home.
