Woman kidnap case: Bhavani Revanna keeps SIT sleuths waiting
Hassan (Karnataka), Jun 1: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Saturday said it could not interrogate Bhavani Revanna, mother of suspended JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna, in connection with a kidnap case as she was not present at her residence at Holenarasipura in the district.
The SIT had issued a notice to Bhavani on Thursday asking her to be present at home from 10 am to 5 pm on June 1 as there was a need to question her in the case linked to allegations of sexual abuse against her son and Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna.
When a team of SIT sleuths reached Bhavani’s house, ‘Chennambika Nilaya’, today she was not present.
Though the officers decided to wait till evening, she failed to turn up.

According to sources, the SIT is now contemplating forming teams to look for her.
Meanwhile, suspended JD(S) MP Prajwal, who was arrested and sent to the custody of SIT in connection with allegations of sexual abuse of several women, denied the charges against him, the source said.
Prajwal (33) is the grandson of former PM and JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda. He returned to the country from Germany on Friday and was immediately arrested by the SIT at the Bengaluru airport.
Prajwal's father H D Revanna, who is Holenarasipura MLA and Deve Gowda's son, is out on bail in the same kidnapping case.

Advocate found dead in car on Nainital court premises
Nainital (PTI): A 55-year-old advocate allegedly died by suicide after shooting himself inside his car at the Nainital district court parking lot here on Monday, police said.
According to the police, Puran Singh Bhakuni, a resident of Mallital, was found in the rear seat of his vehicle with a gunshot wound to his temple.
Police recovered a licensed pistol from his hand and a suicide note from the car’s dashboard. The note stated that Bhakuni was unwell and suffering from depression.
"We received information through lawyers around noon. The deceased was lying in the back seat with a pistol in his hand and blood near his ear," Circle Officer Anjana Negi said.
Forensic teams and ballistic experts reached the spot to collect evidence, as no witness reported hearing the gunshot.
Government counsel Sushil Sharma stated that Bhakuni left home at 9 am and was found dead at 9.30 am.
Sharma raised concerns over the circumstances, noting that the body was in the rear seat, and demanded a thorough probe to rule out foul play. Bhakuni, who worked as a notary, had married six months ago, he said.
Police took the body into custody and sent it for a postmortem to confirm the cause of death.
The forensic laboratory will examine the suicide note and the ballistics of the weapon, the police said, adding that the investigation is ongoing.
