(MENAFN – AsiaNet News) A serious turn of events emerged as continuous rape allegations were leveled against suspended JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna, triggering waves of shock and concern. The allegations stem from a complaint lodged by a woman from KR Nagar taluk in Mysore district, who was employed as a domestic worker at Revanna’s residence.

The victim was reportedly sexually exploited while doing her homework at the deputy’s home. The allegations were serious and suggested that the deputy, allegedly a public servant, not only repeatedly raped the victim but also kept her in custody during the heinous acts.

This is not the first time such allegations have been made against Prajwal Revanna. This is the second case in which a domestic worker has made allegations of sexual misconduct against him. The seriousness of the allegations is reflected in the sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) under which Revanna was charged.

The charges against Prajwal Revanna include IPC 376(2)(N) for repeatedly raping the victim, IPC 376(2)(K) for raping a woman in custody or subduing her by a servant, IPC 354(a)(b) ( c) for sexual harassment by touching the victim’s face, pulling a saree etc. and IPC 506 for issuing threats to life.

In pursuit of justice, the victim’s plight took a public turn when a USB drive containing obscene videos allegedly linked to the MP’s sex scandal surfaced ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. Subsequently, amid public outcry, it was reported that HD Revanna, the father of the accused MP and former minister, along with his supporters had allegedly kidnapped the victim from KR Nagar Taluk.

After careful investigation and consultation with a psychologist, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) decided to take strict legal action against Prajwal Revanna based on the victim’s complaint.

The SIT officials also conducted a raid at former minister HD Revanna’s house in connection with the sexual harassment case. A sexual harassment case was registered against Revanna and his son, MP Prajwal Revanna, at Holenaraseepur police station.
