Bengaluru court rejects bail plea of ​​Law Ministry MP Suraj Revanna in sexual assault case

Bengaluru: A special court on Tuesday rejected the bail plea of ​​JD(S) MLC Suraj Revanna in a sodomy case.

The court had previously reserved its decision.

The Special Public Prosecutor had opposed granting bail to Suraj Revanna, the son of Holenarasipura MP HD Revanna and grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda.

The SPP argued that the accused was powerful, there was strong evidence against the accused and his release on bail could lead to the destruction of evidence in this case.

However, the defense attorney stated that these allegations were politically motivated.

Suraj’s younger brother Prajwal Revanna, a former JD(S) MP, was also arrested for allegedly sexually harassing several women and making explicit videos.
