Karnataka MP Prajwal Revanna suspended from JDS amid sex scandal allegations
Hassan: Karnataka MP Prajwal Revanna has been suspended from the Janata Dal (Secular) or JD(S) following a controversy surrounding explicit videos allegedly depicting him engaging in sexual misconduct with multiple women. Prajwal Revanna, who represents Karnataka's Hassan constituency, has also been served a show cause notice by the party.
The scandal erupted when numerous explicit videos, purportedly involving Prajwal Revanna, surfaced on social media shortly after his constituency went to polls. The videos, allegedly filmed by Prajwal Revanna himself, were widely circulated within the Hassan constituency.
Adding fuel to the fire, a woman has filed a police complaint accusing Prajwal Revanna of sexually assaulting her multiple times between 2019 and 2022. She further alleged that Prajwal Revanna's father, HD Revanna, also engaged in sexual misconduct with her during a period when his wife was not at home.
Prajwal Revanna has vehemently denied these accusations, claiming that the circulated videos are fabricated. Despite his denial, he abruptly left for Germany soon after the videos surfaced online.
In response to mounting pressure, the Karnataka government has formed a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the obscene videos case. This decision came following a recommendation by the state women's commission.
Meanwhile, BJP Leader Devaraje Gowda has claimed to possess evidence, including a pen drive containing explicit videos, allegedly implicating the HD Deve Gowda family, including Prajwal Revanna, in illicit activities.

Allahabad HC sets aside maintenance order in favour of earning wife, says she didn't tell truth
Prayagraj (PTI): The Allahabad High Court has set aside a lower court order mandating a man to pay maintenance to his estranged wife, observing that she earns her living and did not reveal the true salary in her affidavit.
Justice Madan Pal Singh also allowed a criminal revision petition filed by the man, Ankit Saha.
"A perusal of the impugned judgment indicates that in the affidavit filed before the trial court, the opposite party herself admitted that she is a post-graduate and a web designer by qualification. She is working as a senior sales coordinator in a company and getting a salary of Rs 34,000 per month," the court said in the December 3 order.
"But in her cross-examination, she has admitted that she was earning Rs 36,000 per month. Such an amount for a wife who has no other liability cannot be said to be meagre; whereas the man has the responsibility of maintaining his aged parents and other social obligations," it observed.
The high court observed that the woman was not entitled to get any maintenance from her husband "as she is an earning lady and able to maintain herself".
The man's counsel argued in court that the estranged wife did not reveal the whole truth in the affidavit.
"She claimed herself to be an illiterate and unemployed woman. When the document filed by the man was shown to her before the trial court, she admitted her income during cross-examination. Thus, it is clear that she did not come before the trial court with clean hands," the counsel submitted.
The court, in its order, said, "Cases of those litigants who have no regard for the truth and those who indulge in suppressing material facts need to be thrown out of the court."
It impugned the lower court's February 17 judgment and order, passed by the principal judge of a family court in Gautam Buddh Nagar and allowed the criminal revision petition filed by the man.
