Special Court rejects bail plea of former MP Prajwal Revanna in rape case
Bengaluru: A special court has rejected the bail application filed by former Member of Parliament Prajwal Revanna, who has been in jail for the past 14 months in connection with a rape case.

With this, Prajwal Revanna has suffered a legal setback. However, he may now move the High Court seeking relief.
