Karnataka JD(S) MLA H D Revanna was arrested by sleuths of a Special Investigation Team on Saturday in a kidnapping case linked to sexual abuse allegations against his son Prajwal. He was arrested soon after a court here rejected his anticipatory bail plea, officials said.
The former Minister was picked up from the Padmanabhanagar residence of his father, JD(S) supremo and former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda here, and brought to the Special Investigation Team (SIT) office.
The case was registered against Revanna, a former minister and his confidant Sathish Babanna in Mysuru on Thursday night for allegedly abducting a woman.
The case was registered on a complaint filed by the woman’s son, who also alleged that his mother was sexually abused by Revanna’s son and the BJP-JD(S) candidate for Hassan Lok Sabha seat Prajwal Revanna.
Babanna has already been arrested in connection with the case.
The woman was allegedly abducted to prevent her from testifying against Prajwal, police sources said.
