Bengaluru: Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Sunday said that the Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing into sexual abuse charges against Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, will not be going abroad to bring him back, and the Interpol will share information about him.
He also cautioned political leaders about making public statements or sharing information in connection with the case, which is sensitive.
The 33-year-old Prajwal Revanna, who is grandson of JD(S) patriarch and former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, is facing charges of sexually abusing several women.
The scandal has raised a political storm with the ruling Congress and BJP-JD(S) engaged in a slugfest.
Prajwal Revanna is said to have flown abroad on April 27, a day after the first phase of Lok Sabha polls in Karnataka was held.
He was BJP-JD(S) alliance's joint candidate from Hassan Lok Sabha segment, which went to polls in the first phase.
"No, there is no such option. Blue Corner Notice has been issued and the Interpol will share the information. The respective country in which he is found or identified - they will inform them (Interpol) and then our agencies, the CBI will get to know, and through them we will get to know."
"So far there is no information," Parameshwara said.
He was responding to a question on reports about the SIT team travelling abroad in connection with the case.
Speaking to reporters, he said, "Investigation is going on, not to affect the investigation we don't want to share any information."
Responding to a question on Union Minister Pralhad Joshi's statement alleging conspiracy behind the arrest of BJP leader Devaraje Gowda, for making allegations against Congress leaders in connection with the case, Parameshwara said, "If anyone says anything I cannot react to it. We cannot respond to every public statement. As this is a serious case, we cannot share information until the investigation is completed."
"My request to the public and to our leaders is to be cautious while making statements. If not, based on the statements given by them, we may have to call them for investigation and record their statement under 41 A of CrPC," he added.
Asked whether JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy will also be served notice, the Minister said he is a former CM and that he believes that the former has taken this case seriously.
"Before giving any statements on this case or before sharing any information in the public domain, one has to be cautious, and this applies to all," he added.

Unempolyment and farmer death are the issues gifted on us by the central BJP government from demonitisation and GST. Now our PM friends Donald trumps administration also accepted that due to this two isssues Indias growth has been slow for more then a year now.
Unemployment of whom ? Siddaramaiah claims 15 lakhs jobs have been created but has yedduyurappa the guts to ask how many native Kannadigas got the job ?
Regarding cauvery why he did not even open his mouth on SC judgment .
Was there a gag order from Delhi high command. He did not have guts to even welcome the judgment. Probably he knows it was outright injustice to Karnataka but he is helpless and is concerned about his career ! Of course Cong & JD-S also did not have the guts.
Regarding atrocities on women nothing prevents Modi govt. making stringent laws and Karnataka will definitely welcome it. But Modi is too busy with "Man ki bath " , Foreign tours. All he knows is vandemataram & Yoga and of course mudslinging on congress which anyway it rightly deserves.
So native Kannadigas reject the three parties BJP, Cong & Jd-S and
and bring a Kannada party to power or follow the crowd like fools
and dig your own grave. Ignore all the posts of migrants & traitors .
No Unemployment and Farmers suicide in BJP ruled states.
infants,Mothers,Women,Girls, Pregnant women are being Raped, burnt and killed alive. and you are talking about women safety.
Protection of wives is also a key issue.
You said truth but a small correction needed. These are the key issues to highlight only for election..
