Bengaluru, May 5: In a major development, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the sex video scandal involving JD-S MP Prajwal Revann on Saturday arrested his father and JD-S MLA H.D. Revanna following the rejection of his anticipatory bail plea in a victim kidnapping case by the People’s Representative Court in Bengaluru.
H.D. Revanna was taken into custody from the residence of his father and former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda in Bengaluru’s Padmanabhanagar locality.
First, he was taken to the SIT office on the premises of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). After preliminary questioning, the former JD-S minister was taken to the Bowring Hospital for a medical check-up.
Sources said he will be produced before the magistrate at the latter's residence later.
Commenting on the development, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah told mediapersons that he won’t interfere in the matter.
“Action should be initiated as per the law,” he said.
Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar said, “We will not interfere in anything related to this matter. Let them get protection from the court under the law."
Shivakumar also said that let the proceedings follow the manner suggested by former CM H.D. Kumaraswamy.
Quoting a Kannada proverb, Kumaraswamy had said that those who commit crime must be punished.
The SIT officers reached the former PM’s residence soon after the court turned down his anticipatory bail plea in a case related to the kidnapping of a woman who was allegedly sexually assaulted by his son Prajwal Revanna, the sources said.
Earlier on Saturday, the SIT traced the kidnapped woman to the farmhouse of Rajashekar, the personal assistant (PA) to H.D. Revanna, at Kalenahalli village in Mysuru district.
In the court, Special Public Prosecutor B.N. Jagadish submitted that the case is about saving the life of a poor woman.
Jagadish argued that H.D. Revanna did not turn up before the authorities even after being served three notices.
Senior counsel Muthy D. Naik, appearing for H.D. Revanna, argued that the only allegation against his client is a statement that he had called the victim to his residence.
Barring this, there is nothing to prove the role of H.D. Revanna in this case, he argued, adding that the statement was made by an accused in the case, with whom his client has no connections.
He also claimed that the SIT has deliberately added IPC Section 364A, which attracts life imprisonment and capital punishment, to ensure that his client’s bail plea is rejected.
The other IPC Sections invoked in the case — 363 and 365 — attract imprisonment of less than seven years. Therefore, to prove the innocence of H.D. Revanna, he should be granted bail, Naik submitted.
Meanwhile, the woman, who had gone missing on April 29, was found locked up in the farmhouse when the SIT officers reached there following a tip-off.
Sources said Rajashekar is absconding ever since the SIT traced the missing woman to his farmhouse.
The woman is being brought to Bengaluru where her statement will be recorded.
On Friday, Karnataka Police registered an FIR against H.D. Revanna in connection with the kidnapping of the woman, believed to be one of the victims of the sex video scandal involving his son Prajwal Revanna.
The woman’s son had registered a kidnap case naming H.D. Revanna as the prime accused in the case.
His relative Satish Babu was named as the second accused in the FIR, whom the police arrested from Mysuru district on Friday.
The woman’s son alleged that his mother went missing after the surfacing of a purported sex video in which Prajwal Revanna could be seen sexually assaulting her.
He also alleged that his mother was locked up in an undisclosed location, as he pleaded with the police to initiate legal action against H.D. Revanna and Satish Babu.
Prajwal Revanna, the sitting JD-S MP from Hassan, has reportedly fled from the country.

once my parents met with tragic accident in mumbai, the auto in which they were travelling was hit head on with a truck, the truck driver fled away, my father bounced out of Auto, lying on the road unconscious with blood coming out of mouth, my mother jumped out of the auto with my younger brother who was kid then, and my mom cried for help, nobody came, she kept crying and it was evening, She was pleading for help in Tulu also, then suddenly a tempo driver who was passing by came for help, said, Akka, don't worry i will help, he took everyone to hospital, later my dad regained consciousness. He came to our house and then further we learnt that this person was a native of Mangalore and he resides at near the temple of our Kula-devi Godess on hearing my mom's plea he came to help. further he happened to be my father's elder brother's classmate. We were really thankful to his kind deed. A help came from 1000 kms away far far away to mumbai that too sent by mother godess. Else everybody was shrugging away to help my mother.
God comes in any form.
@TRUE INDIAN,
You fail to understand god's love.
See that woman was travelling and god came to help through you, the formless god enters a form (that is you) instructs your brain to give Lemon to the lady and curing her ailing child.

GOD CREATED U. AND U R CREATING GOD'S IDOL. ITS A SIMPLE LOGIC.
Even sai baba used to say, Sabka maalik ek hai, Worship him only.
But u people started Worshiping him.
Once when i was travelling in a train. one family was in my boogie, one kid kept on vomiting in the train, i gave kid's mother a lemon. then her vomiting got stopped.
her mother told, tum hamare liye bhagwan ho. i told her, plz iam a common man, dont make me god.
this what is happening.
@TRUE INDIAN,
Killing is justified only if it happens by mistake, or food for survival.
Even Lord Rama's Father Dhasharath had to suffer and die grieving his beloved son Rama's seperation, This was becoz King Dhasharatha mistakenly killed

There is no my God and ur God, There is only one God, Even Jesus used to speak with God, in the cross. He used to say ya ilaahi, Even muslims also call ya ilaahi.

@TRUE INDIAN,

RIG VEDA QUOTES ARE MISINTERPRETED. No where in vedas it says sacrifice animals. Rig veda says its SIN,
VEDA ALSO SAYS THERE ARE 33 KOTI (TYPES/FORMS) OF SUPREME
@suresh

Thats what iam saying. Without reading ur College Books, u wont get knowledge and will not pass the Graduation.
Last and final Book Quran is for Whole of the Humanity.
U point out a single error in Quran, It is 100% Correct.
Why many converts to islam. even tony blair's sister converted to islam.
Quran also states That killing a innocent Person, is as if he is killing the whole of humanity, but still u find terrorists who kills the innocent.
For us they are anti muslim. enemy of the islam.
U know Shankaracharya Sanjay dwivedi , Now known as Ahmed Pandit. Before he was hindu Shankaracharya. Before just for visit any Marriage function, he used to Get Money in crores.
After comparing both the religion, he Converted to islam, and leads a common life. and now he preaches islam.
@TRUE INDIAN,
IN HINDUISM, killing is SIN, in the name of god or in the name of food, or fun.
So killing, sacrificing by any is wrong. Those people who do it are totally wrong.
Even Nepal has banned the infamous Gadimai sacrifice ritual. Th

TRUE INDIAN, When you find answers to below questions you will get answer for what you have asked.
Does your god really in need of your prayers 5 times?if you don't pray then what? what will happen to god? why he orders you to pray?
Does your god benefit from your prayers? does your god gets power from it?
Does your god requires blood transfusion every year and so you perform goat sacrifices?
Is your god Jealousy, angry god? that he tells you if you worship any other god than him, he will burn you in hell fire.
Do you really believe that there are 72 virgins for all your men. Then what about women, they too pray, how god will reward them, where will they go after death? PONDER over this questions.
Do you really believe that God almighty makes mistakes at the time of creations, and he keeps sending messengers one by one and finally he rectifies all mistakes and sends final messenger? Do you think god is human being to make mistakes?
If you people wait for day of final judgement, what about all those who are born and dead before your Islam religion was formed, Its not their mistake they were born before your prophet gave the Holy message from god. How whether god will give them hell or heaven.?
Instead of asking me to use brain, you use it and try to find out why.
Regarding Lord shiva, He knows everything, Ganesha created by parvati and so he cut the head of Ignorance, pride and replaced it with head of wisdom & humility.
Lord rama, Ma sita, knew everything since begininng, so they never objected to whatever was happening. Even Ravan was Brahmin pandit, great Astrologer, he very well knew that Ram was Lord Vishnu himself, he wanted to attain salvation at the hands of Lord Ram, not only this he wanted salvation for his entire Rakshasa Clan so he pitted everyone against Lord Rama and got killed by Lord himself, thus everyone got Moksha (salvation) in the end.
Hope you understand everything now.
@suresh
My question is if shiva couldnt recognise his own son ganapathi. How can he recognise. If he is god he should know everything.
Even lord ram couldnt save his wife sita from kidnap. How can he save u.
U should use u
Dear Suresh,
Honestly U have to read and ponder on below.. Muslims just want the hindus to wake up and understand the REALITY. Dont make Mockery of God knowingly or unknowingly ... by giving illogical shapes ... Please learn about God and Ponder and reflect more on what God says in different religious scriptures.. which will benefit U and the hateful Society..
His form cannot be seen, no one sees Him with the eye - (Shwetashvatara upanishad 4:20) - Worshiping man made object is a SIN ?
Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires worship DEMIGODS (materialistic - others besides TRUE GOD) - Bhagwad Geeta 7:20
He is body less and pure - Yajurveda 40:8 (Dont worship objects)
They sink DEEPER in DARKNESS those who worship Sambhuti i.e created things\ (Yajurveda 40:9)
Do not worship anybody but Him, the Divine ONE, Praise Him alone - Rigveda 8:1:1)
Worshiping idols is not allowed in hindu scriptures itself...U need to study and ponder on your own scripture.. to recognise and come near to the TRUTH."
AHMED,USA,- I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR YOUR THOUGHTS & WORDS OF WISDOM. We should be tolerant & respect all religions. The god that made EARTH, SUN & MOON and everything is the same. Only the followers are different.
TRUE INDIAN - All Hindus know GOD. Eg. Just like a person can be a FATHER to a child, brother to a sister, SON to Parents, Husband to a women, Friend for someone. Here the person is same only his work and relation with different people will be different. You call him in whatever name you want. Same way the GOD whom you pray and whom Christians or Jews or paresis or Hindus pray are SAME. the way of worshiping him is different. Every one may be right in their own way. So stop arguing and let people follow what their heart says is right. Don't mislead them.
TRUE INDIAN - God has given you Teeth, but i guess you don't bite others. Becoz you know its uses. Same way GOD has given you BRAIN, why don't you USE it.
Killing an animal for FOOD is fine. but killing an animal for fun or in the name of god is a great unpardonable sin.
PRAKASH SHETTY (NAME CHANGED), TRUE INDIAN, just Google out \ RIVERS OF BLOOD - IN DAKA\" and read how the blood was flowing down the road after bakrid, you will come to know how dirty the road was with blood and dead animal carcasses everywhere. It is worst than Idols immersed in rivers & ponds.
TRUE INDIAN - finally you say, you pray 5 times a day, Still there is no peace on earth lots & lots of violence going on , just imagine. Can you pray for world peace, and will your god answer your prayers?"
Please this practice should be stopped, they don't have any right to spoil the atmosphere/ponds/rivers with dirty idols which they worship with great respect and finally throwing in to the water this is not accepted either these dirty idols should be buried or to be dumped in the municipality garbage.
Ahmed USA
Dont U know that Idol worship is a great sin and will never be acceptable with lord of the worlds... even Non muslims are our brothers in humanity. We should convey the TRUTH without insulting... that's right. but where did anybody hurt here.
The commentor is asking the non muslims to reflect on the vedas verse and know the reality of idol worship...
If U like to hide the reality of worshiping ONE GOD which is also mentioned in hindu scriptures... U want others not know about the TRUTH.
What the comment below says is that 'there is no image of God' and thats the TRUTH.
if U think that as a Muslim keeping quite on this and never tell our brothers in humanity of the TRUTH... Then the media which is propagating the other way of what God is, fooling all the people who doesnt care for who is worthy of Worship...
Use your intellect and look for the TRUTH... it might hurt a little but your deep study will know the REALITY of worshiping idols and living in darkness of the TRUTH.
MAY ALLAH GUIDE THOSE WHO R HONEST IN LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH. ALLAH KNOWS BEST.
I would say immature journalism must use some professional ethics .it is very sad to see fellow Muslims mocking others faith .it is the main reason for all the mess .we must respect others faith. No religion is perfect .every religion has its own shortcomings. Salafist mentality of journalism is really not good as it divides the society .where ever you go .we are now seeing islamophobia.. For god sake stop quoting zakirs quotes. We have lot of other things to work .we have 1000+++ short comings. Empowerment is not just population increase .we need to work on all the aspects . grow up mr abd,ponder and true Indian.
@suresh.
Harming and torturing animals is great sin. But for food u can slaughter it by halal method. Where animals feel zero pain.
In uae. Camel is the national animal. If u acciedent it on road. Is the same offence as if u accident
@Suresh.
Why god has given sharp teeth. Is it for time pass. If he wants us to eat only veg. He would have given only flat teeth. U talk as if u havent killed a single mosquito.
For muslims god is controlling us. We have to pray 5 ti
TRUE INDIAN, false indian, murty, non-murthy, PONDER-wander,,AHAD-vahad,PK-chikey,
So our's is blind belief and what about yours? Whats so great in Goat sacrificing, for what? Is it playing holi with blood of animals, You mean to say your god loves it.
Did your god create these animals for you to kill them, What a logic !
Venki
U still dont understand that one line? please reflect on it why VEDAS says NA TASYA Pratima ASTI....
Na Tasya Pratima Asti - There is no image of God...
Please look for the TRUTH and the Truth behind idol worship... Wake up guys, Know your CREATOR ... Dont worship man made idols and objects.. its making fool of yourself and deviating you from the truth and the true God.
There is no God but ALLAH and Muhammad Pbuh is the last and final messenger of ALLAH.
QURAN is the final revelation of ALLAH...
QURAN is for all MANKIND
and its NOT just for muslims...
Dear NON MUSLIMs...
ALLAH has given intellect to humans and we should use it to understand who is worthy of worship... QURAN challenges the mankind .. to look, Ponder, recite and REFLECT on what QURAN says... Try it ... U will be successful in finding contentment in your heart and life.
''No Sathya Prathima Asthi''.........God Has No image ( Idol ,photo......etc )
BLIND BELIEF, FEEL SORRY FOR NON-MUSLIMS.
THEY DONNO WHAT THEY ARE DOING. GETTING BRAIN WASHED FROM POOJARY'S
ALHAMDULLAHI RABBIL AALAMEEN. All Praise Be To Allah THE LORD OF THE WORLDS who has blessed us with beautiful religion of ISLAM.
