Karnataka High Court grants anticipatory bail to Bhavani Revanna in kidnapping case
Bengaluru: Bhavani Revanna has been granted anticipatory bail by Karnataka High Court in connection with the kidnapping of a woman from KR Nagar, Mysuru, imposing certain conditions while granting bail.
Justice Krishna S Dixit presided over the hearing of Bhavani Revanna's bail application and reserved the verdict.
According to the Special Investigation Team (SIT) police, Bhavani Revanna was accused of non-cooperation during the investigation of the kidnapping case. The court, however, noted that Bhavani Revanna responded to 85 questions posed to her. The argument regarding alleged neglect of the victim, including claims of inadequate provision of food and clothing, was also dismissed by the bench, which found the police response unsatisfactory.
The High Court granted the anticipatory bail after considering the statement from the victim, who reportedly confirmed receiving clothes and food from Bhavani Revanna. The bail conditions include directives prohibiting Bhavani Revanna from entering Mysuru and Hassan districts.
