Supreme Court denies bail to Prajwal Revanna in rape and sexual assault cases

New Delhi/IBNS: The Supreme Court on Monday denied bail to former Janata Dal Secular MP Prajwal Revanna in the rape and sexual assault cases against him, media reports said.

The plea was rejected by a Supreme Court bench comprising Justices Bela M Trivedi and Satish Chandra Sharma.

When senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi asked whether Revanna will be allowed to file a bail plea within six months, the court said as quoted by Live Law, "We won't say anything."

Revanna is the grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda and nephew of ex-Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy.

He represented Karnataka's Hassan Lok Sabha seat in the last term and unsuccessfully contested from the constituency in the 2024 general election. The JDS is allied with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP.

Allegations against him include include rape, sexual assault, disrobing women, and forcibly video-graphing sexual acts to intimidate the victims.

He is also accused of raping a woman who used to work as a domestic worker at his home.
