SIT brings Prajwal Revanna to his residence amidst obscene video case
New Delhi: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) recently escorted suspended JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna to his residence as part of ongoing investigations into allegations of rape and sexual harassment leveled against him.
The action follows a recent ruling by the 42nd Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (AACM) special court in Bengaluru, which remanded Revanna to 14-day judicial custody starting June 18 on charges of sexual assault and rape.
Prajwal Revanna, formerly the JD(S) MP from Hassan Lok Sabha constituency, was arrested upon his arrival from Munich on May 30 at Kempegowda International Airport. Allegations surfaced after several explicit videos purportedly depicting instances of sexual assault involving Revanna emerged.

Interpol had issued a Blue Corner Notice seeking information on Revanna's whereabouts, as he reportedly left for Germany on April 27, immediately after the Hassan Lok Sabha elections.
Coincidentally, on the same day Revanna was remanded to judicial custody, the Karnataka High Court granted anticipatory bail to his mother, Bhavani Revanna in an abduction case registered by KR Nagar police in Mysuru. Bhavani Revanna's husband, HD Revanna, a former minister and JDS MLA from Holenarasipura, is also implicated in the case.
Justice Krishna S Dixit confirmed interim anticipatory bail for Bhavani Revanna, stipulating restrictions on her movements in Mysuru and Hassan districts, except for police investigation purposes.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
