HD Revanna’s Bail Plea Adjourned, Relief Denied

JD(S) MLA H D Revanna's hopes for relief were dashed as the Special Court for Elected Representatives adjourned his bail plea hearing to Wednesday. The 66-year-old, in custody of the Special Investigation Team (SIT), faces allegations of involvement in the abduction of a woman. Initially denied anticipatory bail, Revanna remains in police custody until May 8.

The case stems from accusations of abduction filed against Revanna and his associate Sathish Babanna on April 29. Allegations suggest the abduction was to prevent the woman from testifying against JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna, son of former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda. Prajwal faces accusations of sexual abuse, with explicit videos circulating on social media prompting government action.

The Karnataka State Commission for Women's letter to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah led to the formation of the SIT on April 28 to investigate the case. Prajwal, the NDA candidate in the Hassan Lok Sabha constituency, reportedly fled the country on April 27, evading SIT summons. Interpol has issued a Blue Corner notice against him.

The situation underscores the gravity of the allegations and the complex legal proceedings unfolding. Revanna's bail plea hearing delay prolongs the legal battle, while Prajwal's international evasion complicates matters further. The involvement of prominent political figures amplifies public interest, emphasizing the need for a thorough and impartial investigation.

As the legal saga continues, the case serves as a stark reminder of the challenges facing law enforcement agencies in addressing allegations against influential individuals. The adjournment of Revanna's hearing leaves the public awaiting further developments in this high-profile case.
