Hassan sex scandal: Prajwal Revanna to appear in court today following arrest
Bengaluru: Speculation mounts as Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna is expected to make a court appearance today following his arrest on charges of 'sexual assault and rape'. Sources from the Special Investigation Team (SIT) suggest that preparations are underway to bring him before the court for further proceedings.
Prajwal is expected to be presented before the court, where the evidence gathered in the ongoing investigation will be presented. SIT authorities have indicated that they will request custody of the accused for interrogation, citing the necessity for further questioning.
The MP, who stands as the primary accused in a case filed for rape and sexual assault in Holenarasipur Town and CID stations, had been evading the authorities for approximately 35 days by staying abroad. However, SIT officials arrested Prajwal upon his arrival at Kempegowda International Airport from Germany late Thursday night.
The arrest follows the issuance of a blue corner notice and a court warrant against him.

Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee holds roadshow in south Kolkata to end campaign
Kolkata (PTI): Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee undertook a roadshow in south Kolkata spanning over six kilometres on Monday afternoon at the fag end of campaigning for the second and final phase of the West Bengal assembly election.
The TMC chief was accompanied by party Rajya Sabha MP Sagarika Ghose and candidates Aroop Biswas and Debasish Kumar from Tollygunge and Rashbehari, respectively.
People waiting on the roadside and on rooftops and balconies waved at Banerjee as she greeted them with folded hands, walking briskly, as her party compatriots had a tough time keeping pace with her.
The chief minister is contesting from the Bhabanipur assembly seat, where she is pitted against her bete noire, Suvendu Adhikari of the BJP, who defeated her in the 2021 elections in Nandigram.
Banerjee was subsequently elected from Bhabanipur in a byelection.
The roadshow started at Sukanta Setu in the Jadavpur area and culminated at Gopalnagar crossing, past her Kalighat residence, with two small stopovers in between.
TMC flags, festoons, cutouts of Banerjee and banners with slogans in favour of the candidates adorned the roadsides through which the road show passed and culminated at around 5.30 pm.
A large number of TMC supporters participated in the roadshow that Banerjee conducted to end her campaign for the 2026 assembly election in West Bengal.
