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.

That police establishments even in non BJP ruled states work hand in glove with the anti- people fascist RSS is a sad commentary of how our constitutional system is time and again challenged with impunity. Except for few courageous officers who work with conviction the police system as such is corrupted with persuasion of a virulent 'Indian Ideology' as much as the political system is.
That RSS and the police establishments often work hand in glove with each other even in many states ruled by non BJP 'secular' dispensations is a sad commentary on the virulence of the so called nationalism and patriotism propelled by an ' Indian Ideology '
Naushad, CONG not only supporting and BUT hiding in chaddis.....Hijdas
Whoever does this whether he's Muslim,Hindu, Christian or from any other community or religion if try to disturb peace and try to hurt somebodies sentiment to be punished maximum.

What a pity. Long ago a senior Ayodhya seer had called BJP as biggest enemy of Hindus. It's 100 percent true.
What's Congress doing? Supporting cheddis?
VIREN now you need her to provide mental treatment ? first you go through it ....
YOU FOLLOWED HITLER IDEAS...AND SURELY you will follow his END
In Bhatkal Mislims are always sufferer
Muslims are highest paying taxes to the Government
Muslims they stands for economy of Bhatkal. Price rise is higher than
The whole district, even though Bhatkal is peace. Nawayath community in Bhatkal r peace loving people. Hindu girls r working In their house. Muslims employ Hindu girls in their shops. Means we have no difference of opinion at all.
Some miscreants including who Mrs. Revati named in her allegation
Mr. Sunil Nayak just he joined BJP some months ago was a member of a Muslim Sports Centre called Royal Sports Centre and he himself
Mixed with Muslim people during marriage ceremony, sports, Travel
And many other occassion. Now a days he make distanced himself from Muslim friends. Even I wish to tell you he was frequently having beef
In Muslims wedding occasions
Shocking allegation against sangha parivar it is very cheap to blame someone for her sin.
serious inquiry must be done on her complaint if that proved correct, each and every criminals should be given maximum punishment.
we know her behavior.. very harsh in our town,
Revati in need of mental treatment. first she got suspended by assuming she will lose her job for her fault.. she herself resigned before.
Revati slap on, this is wrong to blame someone for your mistake.
her hafta may be pending, until now eaten lancha and lived a wonderful life, now money got over started to blackmail others.
revati.. statement is totally wrong, she just wanted to turn off her case into opposite. corrupt officers like u.. we dont need anymore., go to hell.
Police officers like Ms Revati should shoot those criminals infront of everyone even if he is politician or some group head.
really shocking!!!! from today i will stop joining any group.
this must be stopped.. local people should not support the protest of some group.
whoever involved in this heinous act will die dog's death one day.
yahh exactly right thats why i m not very much bothered about the communal violence. its all pre planned. everyone should do their work and keep quiet from fighting nobody will gain anything instead they will lose.
this complaint should be taken as a general awareness, in my opinion some set of 5 to 10 people want to disturb the peace of the society and some gains, why others are responding to their crime. we all brothers and sisters should live in peace,
She is right in accusing her sanghi seniors .... I was the only person on this forum highlighting this drama of meat placing to stir up social unrest .... Bjp goons hats off to you and Pramod Muthalik for creating social disturbances
naren and viren need some treatment for their mental condition.... i can offer both a better treatment.
viren, bhatkal bjp gooons did this in past also. This time police wanted to frame 1 innocent boy also. psi has taken sunil naik bjp leader name who has given money to 1 person name uday goonda to buy cow meat to throw in dewastan.
I wonder fools like #1 still exists in Karnataka... Want to give merit to the evil doers even if they are exposed of their evil. Only devils are happy when some one is harmed... and dont be a devils agent by supporting the Evil..(throwing beef and blaming others)
More deceptions will spill out in near future in Shaa Allah.
Viren u r one of the educated illiterate person on this planet....if the same allegation she put on muslim community then she is a very good police, otherwise, she is mental.....the whole India knows who are the main culprits are except some communal people like u....
Ms Revathi is 100% correct, hats off brave police officer Revathi
Viren!! Who need treatment for them this statement is funny. This is not the first time. Whenever One particular community is involved in any illegal thongs and get caught, then he is mental. Naren antinationalist need itch guard.
The true face of saffron forces unveiled again. Pity on them. Such people dont hesitate to destroy their own family for political gains.
Lol. funny allegations. I think she needs some treatment for her mental condition.
