Sex crimes accused Prajwal Revanna's brother Suraj Revanna claims he's being blackmailed
Bengaluru: In a recent development, Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) leader Suraj Revanna, the brother of Prajwal Revanna, has alleged that he is being blackmailed with a false sexual assault case in Karnataka's Hassan.
Suraj Revanna's friend, Shivkumar, filed a complaint against two men, Chethan and his brother-in-law, claiming they demanded ₹ 5 crore and threatened to file a sexual abuse case against Suraj if their demands were not met. According to Shivkumar, Chethan initially approached him for help in finding a job. Shivkumar provided Suraj Revanna's contact details to Chethan, who then started blackmailing both Shivkumar and Suraj after failing to secure employment.
The situation escalated when Chethan appeared on a private channel, alleging that he had been sexually abused by Suraj at a farmhouse. This development comes just days after former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna was sent to judicial custody. Prajwal, the 33-year-old grandson of JD(S) patriarch and former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, had recently lost his bid to retain the Hassan parliamentary constituency in the recent elections.
The allegations of sexual abuse against Prajwal Revanna emerged following the circulation of pen drives containing explicit videos allegedly involving him, ahead of the Lok Sabha polls on April 26. In response to the allegations, JD(S) suspended Prajwal from the party. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has distanced itself from the matter.
In addition to the accusations against Prajwal and Suraj, a police case has been filed against their father, HD Revanna, for allegedly kidnapping a woman who claimed she had been raped by both men. HD Revanna, a former MLA and Public Works Department Minister, was granted bail on May 14 in the kidnapping case and subsequently in the sexual assault case.
