Bengaluru: In a fresh development in the alleged Hassan sex abuse case, JD(S) MLA H D Revanna, who was accused of sexually harassing his house help, has been booked for kidnapping a victim allegedly sexually assaulted by his son, Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna. The case was filed late Thursday evening at the KR Nagar police station in Mysuru.
The 20-year-old complainant from KR Nagara accused one Sathish Babanna of taking his mother away forcibly and keeping her in an unknown location at the behest of Revanna.
As per the FIR, Revanna has been named as accused 1 while Babanna was accused 2. The duo were booked under IPC Sections 364A (kidnapping for ransom), 365 (kidnapping or abducting with intent secretly and wrongfully to confine a person) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention).
The complainant claimed that his mother, whose name and age were not revealed, had worked as a help in Revanna’s house and farm in Holenarasipura for six years, quit the job three years ago and returned to KR Nagara. She then worked for daily wages.
“Nearly three to four days before the Lok Sabha election, Sathish Babanna, who is known to us and hailed from our native place, took my mother to Holenarasipura after saying that Bhavani Revanna, the wife of MLA Revanna, had asked for her,” the complainant alleged, adding that Babanna dropped her back on the day of the polls.
Babanna allegedly told the victim’s mother and father to remain silent and evade the police if they came looking for them and to inform him of the developments.
On April 29, at around 9 pm, when the complainant was home, the suspect Babanna arrived, told the complainant’s mother that Revanna had asked for her and took her away on his motorcycle. The complainant claimed that he wasn’t aware of where Babanna took his mother and he had told him that if the police found her, a case would be registered and they would all go to jail.
On May 1, two of the complainant’s relatives called him on the phone and told him that there was a video of his mother being sexually assaulted by Prajwal and that it was a huge case, the FIR noted. He was also informed by his two friends of his "mother's videos being circulated".
When he asked Babanna later that night, he was allegedly told that there was a photo of his mother standing with a stick when Prajwal had quarrelled with someone earlier and an FIR had been registered. Babanna told the complainant that his mother would have to be released on bail, the FIR noted.
“Babanna told me not to speak on the matter on my phone and asked me to talk from a different phone,” he said, seeking action from the police.
The case has been transferred to the Special Investigation Team (SIT) set up to probe the Hassan sex scandal as per the government order.

He will get better than this .......we should not use SNAPDEAL to support Amir khan thats it
Good move. He shouldn't have said such irresponsible comments being a representative of India and who was preaching high standards of ethics.
He had criticized Hindu religion to a lowest level in his PK movie (recalling fancy dressed God Shiva in a toilet scene?). It was released in India. Indians (having Hindus in majority) have made the movie cross all time box office revenue records. (However, a minor incidents of protests and unrest were witnessed here and there).
Now imagine, had this movie criticized Islam (in a similar way as was done with Hinduism), definitely an emergency kind of situation would have been created in India. It wouldn't have crossed even 1 crore revenue. Can you imagine such a movie (criticizing Islam) could have been ever made and released in Islamic countries? The whole PK team would have faced death sentence there.
It proves how tolerant, intelligent and open minded Indian are. And yet, he publicly conveyed his wife's such a immature and insensitive statement.
He doesn't deserves to represent India and preach any higher morality values. Its time teach him and similar thinking narrow minded people.
