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.
Revanna had approached the court seeking bail in a case related to the alleged rape of a domestic worker at his residence in Holenarasipura. After hearing the arguments, Special Judge for People's Representatives, Gajanan Bhat, pronounced the verdict on Thursday, dismissing his bail plea.
With this, Prajwal Revanna has suffered a legal setback. However, he may now move the High Court seeking relief.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
