SIT brings Prajwal Revanna to his residence amidst obscene video case
New Delhi: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) recently escorted suspended JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna to his residence as part of ongoing investigations into allegations of rape and sexual harassment leveled against him.
The action follows a recent ruling by the 42nd Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (AACM) special court in Bengaluru, which remanded Revanna to 14-day judicial custody starting June 18 on charges of sexual assault and rape.
Prajwal Revanna, formerly the JD(S) MP from Hassan Lok Sabha constituency, was arrested upon his arrival from Munich on May 30 at Kempegowda International Airport. Allegations surfaced after several explicit videos purportedly depicting instances of sexual assault involving Revanna emerged.

Interpol had issued a Blue Corner Notice seeking information on Revanna's whereabouts, as he reportedly left for Germany on April 27, immediately after the Hassan Lok Sabha elections.
Coincidentally, on the same day Revanna was remanded to judicial custody, the Karnataka High Court granted anticipatory bail to his mother, Bhavani Revanna in an abduction case registered by KR Nagar police in Mysuru. Bhavani Revanna's husband, HD Revanna, a former minister and JDS MLA from Holenarasipura, is also implicated in the case.
Justice Krishna S Dixit confirmed interim anticipatory bail for Bhavani Revanna, stipulating restrictions on her movements in Mysuru and Hassan districts, except for police investigation purposes.

NEET student hangs self in Rajasthan's Sikar
Jaipur (PTI): A student preparing for the NEET examination allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in a rented room in Rajasthan's Sikar on Friday, police said.
According to the police, the student allegedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan using his sister's scarf while one sister was attending coaching classes and the other was in the bathroom.
He had appeared in the NEET UG exam 2026, which was cancelled due to paper leak, they said.
Udyog Nagar SHO Rajesh Kumar said that the deceased, identified as Pradeep Meghwal, was a resident of Kanika ki Dhani village in Jhunjhunu's Gudha Gaudji area.
He had been living in a rented room in Sikar's Jaldhari Nagar area with his two sisters while preparing for NEET over the last three years.
His elder sister later found him hanging and informed the landlord and police after bringing him down, officials said.
The SHO said the body was kept at SK Hospital mortuary, and a postmortem had not been conducted.
The student's father, Rajesh Kumar Meghwal, told police that Pradeep's NEET examination had gone well and the family was expecting him to score around 650 marks.
Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot expressed grief over the incident and linked it to anxiety among students after reports of irregularities and paper leaks in NEET 2026.
Pilot said repeated paper leak incidents and cancellation of examinations were affecting students' mental health and demanded a time-bound investigation and strict action against those responsible.
