NEW DELHI: A local
Bengaluru court
on Thursday sent Hassan MP
Prajwal Revanna
to
SIT custody
till June 10 in connection with the
obscene videos case
. Revanna, who is former JD(S) MP from Hassan Lok Sabha constituency and accused of sexually assaulting three women, was arrested minutes after he landed at Kempegowda International Airport here past Thursday midnight.
The 33-year-old MP, arriving from Munich, was swiftly taken to the CID office for interrogation.
Prajwal, who is the grandson of JD(S) patriarch and former PM HD Deve Gowda and was the NDA's candidate from the Hassan Lok Sabha seat, is facing charges of multiple instances of sexually abusing women.
The cases came to light after several explicit videos of
sexual assault
allegedly by Prajwal became public. A SIT is currently probing these cases.
Prajwal reportedly left for Germany on April 27, a day after Hassan went to polls, and is still at large. Interpol has also issued a Blue Corner Notice seeking information on his whereabouts.
