Bengaluru (PTI): JD(S) MLA and former minister H D Revanna was released from the Central Jail at Parappana Agrahara at Anekal town on the outskirts of Bengaluru on Tuesday.
A Special Court for Elected Representatives on Monday granted bail to him in connection with a kidnap case.
The 66-year-old former minister, son of former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, was arrested by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) in an alleged case of abduction of a woman, linked to the allegations of sexual abuse of women by his son and Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, on May 4.
The special court judge Santhosh Gajanan Bhat heard the matter and granted conditional bail to Revanna.
As the imprisoned leader walked free after spending six days in the jail, his supporters greeted him with slogans and a large convoy of vehicles followed him. Revanna went to meet his father Deve Gowda.
While granting the bail, the court invoked conditions, such as Revanna will be given bail upon executing Rs 5 lakh bond, he should not be allowed to leave the country, and he should not try to influence the victim or other related parties to the case.
Revanna's three-day police custody ended on May 8, following which he was produced in the XVII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court, which remanded him to seven days’ judicial custody, till May 14.
The case was registered following a complaint by the woman's son, who alleged that his mother was sexually abused by Revanna's son Prajwal.
The woman was allegedly abducted to prevent her from testifying against Prajwal, police sources have said.
The SIT has also secured the custody of Revanna's confidant Sathish Babanna in connection with the case.
The SIT arrested Babanna on May 3 and subsequently rescued the woman allegedly from a farmhouse in Mysuru’s Hunsur taluk on May 4, hours before the arrest of Revanna from Deve Gowda's residence in Bengaluru’s Padmanabhanagar.

New Delhi: Concerned by the rising cases of obesity, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called on citizens to reduce their oil consumption in food and also pass on the challenge of reducing oil intake by ten percent to 10 others, as part of a collective effort to address the issue.
In his monthly Mann Ki Baat radio address, Modi emphasised that reducing oil intake is not just a personal decision but a responsibility towards one’s family and health.
Modi referred to a study that highlights the growing obesity problem, citing that one in every eight individuals is affected. "According to WHO data from 2022, approximately 250 crore people worldwide were overweight, which is a concerning figure. Obesity is a serious issue that leads to several health complications," he noted.
Modi explained that excessive oil consumption is linked to various health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. He suggested a method to combat this: reduce oil intake by 10 percent each month. “You can decide to buy 10 percent less oil while grocery shopping. This small change can significantly contribute to reducing obesity," he said.
Additionally, Modi encouraged listeners to pass on this challenge to 10 other people.
The prime minister also shared messages from Olympic javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra and boxing champion Nikhat Zareen, who both advocated for healthier lifestyles and warned against consuming fried foods.
