SIT issues third notice in Prajwal Revanna sex scandal, including Bhavani Revanna
Hassan: In the latest development surrounding the alleged sex scandal involving Prajwal Revanna, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) has issued a third notice, this time also extending it to Bhavani Revanna, the wife of former Minister Revanna. The notice, dispatched by the local police to Revanna's residence in Holenaraseepur, mandates her attendance at a scheduled hearing on either Thursday or Friday.
Following the revelation of the scandal, Prajwal Revanna reportedly fled the country. Despite being served two previous notices, Revanna did not appear for the hearings, leading to the issuance of the third notice. It is rumoured that Prajwal has travelled to Germany and is currently residing in Dubai.
Simultaneously, SIT officials conducted raids on the residences and farmhouses of the Revanna family in Bengaluru and Hassan districts, collecting pertinent evidence in the case.
In a parallel development, a distressing complaint emerged from one of the victim's sons, alleging kidnapping by Revanna. The accomplice, Satish Babanna, has been apprehended by the police in connection with this incident. Furthermore, a former member of Hassan Zilla Panchayat has come forward with accusations against Prajwal Revanna, alleging repeated instances of rape under duress.

Karnataka HC directs to re-verify rejected postal ballots in Sringeri Assembly constituency
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka High Court has directed to re-verify the 279 rejected postal ballots polled in Sringeri Assembly constituency during the 2023 election.
The court has also said that the Returning Officer (RO), depending on the outcome of the re-verification, will have to undertake recounting of the postal ballots and announce the results.
Justice R Nataraj on Monday passed this order, hearing the election petition filed by BJP's defeated candidate D N Jeevaraj, who challenged the election of Congress's T D Rajegowda, who won by 201 votes.
The court, however, has granted a stay for two weeks on this order, on the request from Rajegowda's advocate to enable him to challenge the same before the Supreme Court.
