Karnataka: BJP leader who denounced Prajwal Revanna’s ‘sex scandal’ arrested in sexual assault case | Indiablooms

Bengaluru/IBNS: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader G Devaraje Gowda, who reported alleged sexual abuse of a number of women by suspended JDS leader Prajwal Revanna, was arrested on Friday evening in connection with a sexual assault case by the Police taken into custody. According to media reports.

Gowda was arrested while traveling from Bengaluru to Chitradurga.

Following a complaint from a 36-year-old woman, Gowda was arrested for alleged harassment on the pretext of helping her sell her property.

Although he is accused of leaking the videos that allegedly show Revanna sexually abusing women, Gowda denied the allegation and instead blamed the Congress.

Prajwal Revanna was caught in the middle of a massive controversy in Karnataka after some leaked explicit videos allegedly showed him sexually assaulting several women.

The 33-year-old leader, who is the grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, traveled abroad a day after the election in Hassan in Karnataka, where he is a candidate, and soon after the videos began circulating online.

The alleged scandal came to light after a woman filed a sexual assault complaint against Prajwal Revanna. She accused the JDS leader of sexually abusing her on multiple occasions between 2019 and 2022.

Meanwhile, Prajwal’s father and JDS MLA HD Revanna was arrested in connection with a case involving the kidnapping of one of the sex scandal victims.
